What is the limit
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^{n}}{e^{n^{3/2}}}?$$

Hint: the numerator is $e^{n\log n}$ – 2012-10-18

You can then combine them, but that is not very helpful, since whatever I do I seem to end with an indeterminate form. – 2012-10-18

Different hint: $\left(\dfrac{n}{e^{n^{1/2}}}\right)^n$. Proving the inside part approaches $0$ is easier. And if $a_n\to0$, then $a_n^n\to0$ too. – 2012-10-18

Come to think of it, isn't this a candidate sequence for the Root Test? The Root Test will imply these terms have a finite sum, which in turn proves the terms individually approach $0$. – 2012-10-18
