Power Series:(n^n)*(x^n)

Homework Statement



The only step I'm having problem with on this problem is when I take the Lim n→∞ of the problem. I want to know how to cancel the n^n on the denominator during one of the steps.

Homework Equations




Ʃ (n^n)*(x^n)
n=1

The Attempt at a Solution



lim n→∞ [(n+1)^(n+1)]*[x^(n+1)]/[(n^n)*(x^n)]

|x| lim n→∞ [(n+1)^(n+1)]/n^n

That's where I got stuck.

(n+1)n+1 / nn = ( (n+1)n / nn ) * (n+1). Can you see the limit now?
 


Oh, I definitely see it now! Thanks. (^o^)/
 


Can you show (n+1)^(n+1)/n^n>(n+1)??
 


Yeah, I can definitely do that part, I just I had a little trouble looking for the one little section I had trouble with.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
