A student claims that since each term in the sequence (kk)(\sqrt[k]{k})(kk​) is rationally related, it depends on the significance of both sides of an inequality that needs the right side growing at a faster rate than the asymptotic behavior of the sequence more closely?

If the series ∑n=1∞2nn!\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{2^n}{n!}∑n=1∞​n!2n​ is analyzed using the Ratio Test instead of a direct comparison to e2e^2e2, which conclusion is drawn about its convergence?
