Answer to Problem 59E

The geometric series including nth term formula is ∑n=0∞(x−1)n and the interval of convergence is (0,2) .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The function is 12−x .

Concept used:

The mathematical expression of infinite geometric series in general is written as a+ar+ar2+ar3+⋯ where the first term of the series is a and the common ratio between two consecutive terms is r .

The convergence test of series states that the geometric series converges if |r|<1 otherwise the series diverges where r is the constant ratio.

Furthermore, the convergence test of geometric series also ensures that the convergent infinite geometric series ∑n=1∞arn−1 converges to a1−r .

Calculation:

The given function is 12−x that can be rewritten as,

  12−x=11−(x−1)

The given function fits the formula for infinite geometric series ∑n=1∞arn−1 that converges to a1−r .

The values are obtained as a=1,r=(x−1) by comparing the function 11−(x−1) with a1−r .

Write the mathematical expression of infinite geometric series in this form a+ar+ar2+ar3+⋯arn+⋯ .

  [1+(x−1)+(x−1)2+⋯(x−1 )n+⋯]

Here, the initial term is 1 and each sequential term is multiplied by (x−1) and the last term is the nth term that is equal to (x−1)n .

Therefore, the geometric series including nth term formula is ∑n=0∞(x−1)n .

The convergence test of geometric series states that the geometric series converges if |r|<1 .

Therefore, the value of |x−1|<1 .

Find the interval of convergence with r=(x−1) by the absolute function definition and convergence test of geometric series.

  |x−1|<1−1<x−1<1−1+1<x<1+10<x<2

Therefore, the interval of convergence is (0,2) .

Conclusion:

Thus, the geometric series including nth term formula is ∑n=0∞(x−1)n and the interval of convergence is (0,2) .
