What is the interval of convergence of #sum_1^oo ((-1)^n(x-2)^n )/ (n+1) #?

Answer 1

The interval of convergence is #(1, 3]#

If #abs(x-2) < 1# then this sum converges faster than a geometric series with common ratio #x-2#.
If #x <= 1# then all of the terms are positive and greater than #1/(n+1)#, so the sum diverges.
If #x > 3# then for large enough #n# we find #(x-2) > (n+2)/(n+1)#, so the sum diverges faster than a geometric series with common ratio #< -1#.
If #x = 3# then the sum is:
#sum_(n=1)^oo (-1)^n/(n+1)#

which comes together.

So the interval of convergence is #(1, 3]#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
