I have to prove that $u_n=4^{3n}/3^{4n}$ is a null sequence. My attempt: $1/3^{4n}<4^{3n}/3^{4n}<1/3^{n/4}$ Taking limits and by squeeze principle the limit $u_n=4^{3n}/3^{4n}$ tends to 0. Is this correct?

I don't know how you got your last inequality. Why don't you just write your sequence as $$u_n=\frac{4^{3n}}{3^{4n}}=\left(\frac{4^3}{3^4}\right)^n=\left(\frac{64}{81}\right)^n$$ Since $0<64/81<1$, the sequence tends to $0$.

I thought about that but is it accepted as a proof? – Natasha J Apr 16 '21 at 14:31

You can do it that way, in the general case, but calculating $3^4$ and $4^3$ is trivial – Andrei Apr 16 '21 at 14:37

Ok. Thank you so much! – Natasha J Apr 17 '21 at 03:53
