Calculus Consider the power series \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n x^n}{n^2}\). (a) Find the radius of convergence of this power series. (b) Find the interval of convergence of this power series. You must cite any results from the notes that you need to ensure conver- gence or divergence.

Step 1
The ratio test states that if the limit of the absolute value of the ratio of consecutive terms is less than 1, then the series converges. If the limit is greater than 1, then the series diverges. If the limit is equal to 1, the test is inconclusive. Show more…
