  • This calculus 2 video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the root test. If the limit of the nth root of the absolute value of the sequence as n goes to infinity is less than 1, the series converges. If it's greater than 1, the series diverges. If it's equal to 1, the root test is inconclusive.

    Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for another incredible video/lecture on the Root Test in Calculus Two. Once again, the Root Test is not difficult, however students could have some problems with the basic algebra and using La Hospital's rules in Calculus. Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, at the 6:26 minute mark in the video, you pulled out 1/2 instead of 1 divided by 2 raised to the one divided by n. The final solution, however, is one hundred percent correct. Please correct this small error in the video.

    In that last example, it's good that break 3 to the (n+2) into 2 parts, but since 3 squared is a constant that is independent of n, just bring it out to the front of the summation. This'll save time (and reduce your chance of making a silly mistake since you're not doing any unnecessary calculations).

      It should have been done in the first place. Before taking the root test he should have wrote another sum series such as 1/2 times sum n to power n over (2. To the power four n) then taking the root test would give us the correct answer.

    • @maiateri1389
      @maiateri1389 5 років тому +2

      You cannot. If you pull the 2 out, it would have to be before you apply the nth root. However, I do not believe that the previous step (moving the two out before applying the nth root) is what you should do. It is more proper to apply the nth root to the entire expression. In this case, though, it does not affect the answer...just something to note.

      @liahoko Рік тому

      Because he wanted n^n/16^n to be by themselves so he can cancel out the two n's in the end; the one in the square root and the one outside the square root so it can end up n/16 which makes figuring out the problem easier.
      Visual look: [|n^n/2(16^n)|]^1/n ---> 1/2 lim n-> infinity [|(n^n/16^n)|]^1/n ---> 1/2 lim n-> infinity [|(n/16)^n|]^1/n (the n and 1/n cancel out) ----> 1/2 lim n-> infinity |n/16| and I think you can finish it from there.
