Step 1
Since it is not given, let's assume the general term is: $$a_n(x) = c_n(x-3)^n$$ Now, we need to find the interval of convergence using the Ratio Test. The Ratio Test states that if: $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left|\frac{a_{n+1}(x)}{a_n(x)}\right| < 1$$ then the Show more…

Consider the power series ∑ n^n(x - 3)^n. n=1 Find the radius of convergence R. If it is infinite, type "infinity" or "inf". Answer: R = inf What is the interval of convergence? Answer (in interval notation): (-inf, inf)
