Question

The question is asking to determine the radius of convergence of the given power series. But I did not understand what the textbook answer meant by discussion about x=2 and x=4

(2x+1)"
5.
n2
n=1
Answer
Solution
Use the ratio test :
(2æ + 1)"+"/(n + 1)
lim
n?
|(2x + 1)"/n²|
lim
n→0 n2 + 2n + 1
| 2x + 1| = |2x + 1|.
Therefore the series converges absolutely for |2x + 1| < 1, or |x + 1/2|< 1/2. The radius of convergence is p =1/2. At x = 0 and x = –1, the
series also converges absolutely.
