The radius of convergence of the power series
Given number:
x(x1)x \left(x - 1\right)
It is a series of species
ax(cxx0)dxa_{x} \left(c x - x_{0}\right)^{d x}
- power series.
The radius of convergence of a power series can be calculated by the formula:
Rd=x0+limxaxax+1cR^{d} = \frac{x_{0} + \lim_{x \to \infty} \left|{\frac{a_{x}}{a_{x + 1}}}\right|}{c}
In this case
ax=x(x1)a_{x} = x \left(x - 1\right)
and
x0=0x_{0} = 0
,
d=0d = 0
,
c=1c = 1
then
1=limx(x1x+1)1 = \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left|{x - 1}\right|}{x + 1}\right)
Let's take the limit
we find
