Solution:
(a)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Assume that the power series Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_nx^n} converges. |
| Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle R} be the radius of convergence of this power series. |
| We can use the Ratio Test to find Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle R.} |

|
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \bigg| \frac{c_{n+1}x^{n+1}}{c_nx^n}\bigg|} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \bigg|\frac{c_{n+1}x}{c_n}\bigg|}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{|x|\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\bigg(\frac{c_{n+1}}{c_n}\bigg).} \end{array}} |
| Since the radius of convergence of the series Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_nx^n} is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle R,} we have |

| Step 2: |
|---|
| Now, we use the Ratio Test to find the radius of convergence of the series Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n\bigg(\frac{x}{2}\bigg)^n.} |
