The radius of convergence of the power series
Given number:
log(11n2)\log{\left(1 - \frac{1}{n^{2}} \right)}
It is a series of species
an(cxx0)dna_{n} \left(c x - x_{0}\right)^{d n}
- power series.
The radius of convergence of a power series can be calculated by the formula:
Rd=x0+limnanan+1cR^{d} = \frac{x_{0} + \lim_{n \to \infty} \left|{\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n + 1}}}\right|}{c}
In this case
an=log(11n2)a_{n} = \log{\left(1 - \frac{1}{n^{2}} \right)}
and
x0=0x_{0} = 0
,
d=0d = 0
,
c=1c = 1
then
1=limnlog(11n2)log(11(n+1)2)1 = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left|{\frac{\log{\left(1 - \frac{1}{n^{2}} \right)}}{\log{\left(1 - \frac{1}{\left(n + 1\right)^{2}} \right)}}}\right|
Let's take the limit
we find
True
