I’m a high school student and teaching myself a tiny bit of maths. I stumbled over a problem, I can’t find a proof for (and neither found a proof for it in the internet or in books, but I guess there is one).
If the root test is inconclusive, then the ratio test is inconclusive, too ( in other words: if the root test equals one, then the ratio test equals one).
Is this statement true? And is there a proof for it?
Any help is appreciated.
(The point of the proof should be showing that the root test is stronger than the ratio test. I know examples for this, but can't find a proof (maybe proof by contradiction?).)
What I want to show is:
$ lim sup \sqrt[n]{|a_n|}=1 \implies lim |\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|=1$
