The radius of convergence of the power series
Given number:
11x2\frac{1}{1 - x^{2}}
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=11x2a_{n} = \frac{1}{1 - x^{2}}
and
x0=0x_{0} = 0
,
d=0d = 0
,
c=1c = 1
then
1=limn11 = \lim_{n \to \infty} 1
Let's take the limit
we find
True

False
