Hi, here we are giving a power series n from 0 to infinity minus 1, let me zoom minus 1 to the n plus 1 times n plus 5 times x to the n and we're going to find the interval of convergence and we are also asked to check the for convergence at the end points of the interval.
00:28
Okay, so if we have a a power series is a series that it is of this form.
00:35
The infinite sum, a .n, x to the n, x is a variable.
00:40
And to find the radius of convergence, if we know the radius of convergence, the interval of convergence is minus rho, where rho is the radius of convergence.
00:51
To find this radius of convergence, what we do, we take the ratio of n, a .n plus 1 over a .n.
00:59
Then the absolute value of this then we take the limit as n goes to infinity.
01:04
Once we find the limit then we have that the radius of convergence is 1 over l.
01:10
This is in general what we have.
01:13
Of course it might be the case that the limit does not exist but this is not the case here.
01:18
So this is what we have over here and now let's see.
01:23
We have here in our series, a .n is given by minus 1 to the n plus 1.
01:31
Times n plus 5 so a n plus 1 over a n in the absolute value of this is going to be minus 1 to the n plus 2 times n plus 1 plus 5 over minus 1 to the n plus 1 over times excuse me n plus 5 so this is going to be now this because we take the absolute value it doesn't matter here just to say it briefly minus 1 to the n plus 2 over minus 1 to the n plus 1 this is equal to minus 1 but then we take the absolute value of this thing so this is equal to 1 and then of course we have that this term is positive this is positive so the whole thing is going to be equal to n plus 6 over n plus 5.
02:36
And this is equal to n times 1 plus 6 over n over n times 1 plus 5 over n.
02:48
This n and this end cancel out.
02:51
So this is equal to 1 plus 6 over 1 plus 5 over n.
02:58
And why am i doing this algebra? because i want to calculate the limit...
