The given series is convergent if it has a finite limit.
We'll calculate the limit of this series forcing n^2 factor within the logarithm
function.
lim an = lim ln[n^2*(1 + 1/n +
1/n^2)]/n
n->`oo`
n->`oo`
We'll use the product property of
logarithms:
lim an = lim [ln(n^2) + ln(1 + 1/n +
1/n^2)]/n
n->` oo`
n->`oo`
We'll use the power property of
logarithms:
lim an = lim 2*(1/n)ln n + lim ln(1 + 1/n +
1/n^2)]/n
n->`oo` n->`oo`
n->`oo`
lim an = 2lim ln (n)^(1/n) +
0
n->`oo`
But lim ln
(n)^(1/n) = 1
lim an = 2
n
-> `oo`
The limit of the given series,
if n is approaching to `oo` , is lim an = 2.
