Test the convergence of series $sum frac{a^n}{a^n+x^n}$ when $xneq0$
$begingroup$
Let $ t_n=frac{a^n}{a^n+x^n}$ and using root test
$$ displaystyle lim_{n to infty} {t_n}^{frac{1}{n}}= lim_{n to infty} left(frac{a^n}{a^n+x^n}right)^{frac{1}{n}}= lim_{n to infty} frac{1}{big(1+(frac{x}{a})^nbig)^{frac{1}{n}}}$$
Now I am stuck, I don't know how to evaluate this limit

What’s a definition of $e^x$?

@R.Jackson Thanks for replying. But I don't get it. The exponent $frac{1}{n}$ in the denominator doesn't tends to infinity so how can we use the definition of $e^x$.

$$x=a implies t_n=frac 12 $$
$$implies sum t_n text{ diverges}$$
$$|x|<|a|implies lim_{nto+infty}t_n=1$$
$$implies sum t_ntext{ diverges}$$
$$|x|>|a|implies t_nsim (frac ax)^n$$
$$implies sum t_n text{ converges}$$
