Find the associated radius of convergence R.
R =

Respuesta :

The radius of convergence R of the given function f(x) = (-1)^n(1 - x)² be,

R = 1/2.

Given, a function f(x)

f(x) = (-1)^n(1 - x)²

we have to find the radius of convergence R of the given function,

first will find the (n+1)th term of the given function

as, an = (-1)^n(1 - x)²

then an+1 = (-1)^(n+1)(1 - x)²

to find the radius of convergence, we will find

lim x->∞ an+1/an

lim x->∞ ((-1)^(n+1)(1 - x)²)/((-1)^n(1 - x)²)

On solving the limits, we get

lim x->∞ an+1/an = 2x

then R = 1/2

as, -1/2 < x < 1/2

so, the radius of the convergence be, 1/2

Hence, the radius of the convergence be, 1/2
