The radius of convergence of the power series
Given number:
$$x^{n} \left(-1\right)^{n - 1} \left(5^{n} + 2\right)$$
It is a series of species
$$a_{n} \left(c x - x_{0}\right)^{d n}$$
- power series.
The radius of convergence of a power series can be calculated by the formula:
$$R^{d} = \frac{x_{0} + \lim_{n \to \infty} \left|{\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n + 1}}}\right|}{c}$$
In this case
$$a_{n} = \left(-1\right)^{n - 1} \left(5^{n} + 2\right)$$
and
$$x_{0} = 0$$
,
$$d = 1$$
,
$$c = 1$$
then
$$R = \lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{5^{n} + 2}{5^{n + 1} + 2}\right)$$
Let's take the limit
we find
$$R = \frac{1}{5}$$
$$R = 0.2$$
