**Problem 4: Using the Root Test for Series Convergence**

Use the Root Test to determine the convergence or divergence of the series:

a. \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{n}{2n+1} \right)^n\)

b. \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{2n+1}{n-1} \right)^n\)

c. \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{3^n}\)

**Explanation:**

- **Root Test**: In the Root Test for convergence, for a given series \(\sum a_n\), evaluate the limit \(\lim_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n]{|a_n|}\).
  - If the limit \(L < 1\), the series converges absolutely.
  - If \(L > 1\), the series diverges.
  - If \(L = 1\), the test is inconclusive.
