conditionally, the absolute value of the function (e^1/n/5n) is divergent when compared to 1/5n because it is greater than and the new function has a p-value of 1 (the function diverges), also because the function is positive and decreasing (f(n)>f(n+1)), finally since the limit of e^1/x = 1 it is seen that the limit is zero when the numerator (5n) approaching infinity
