Chapter 6.1, Problem 59E

In the following exercises, suppose that $p(x)=$ ${\displaystyle \underset{n=0}{\overset{\infty }{\sum }}{a}_n{x}^n}$ Satisfies $\underset{n\to \infty }{\lim }$

$\frac{a_n+1}{a_n}=1$ where $a_n\ge 0$ for each $n$ . State whether each series converges on the full interval (− 1, 1), or if there is not enough information to draw a conclusion. Use the comparison test when appropriate.

59. [T] Plot the graphs of the partial sums $S_n={\displaystyle \underset{n=1}{\overset{N}{\sum }}\frac{x^n}{n^2}}$ for $n$ = 10, 50, 100 on the interval [-0.99, 0.99]. Comments on the behavior of the sums near $x=-1$ and near

   $x=1$ as N increases.
