Expert-verifiedQuestion:7. Sometimes the ratio test (Theorem 2) can be applied to a power series containing an infinite number of zero coefficients, provided the zero pattern is regular. Use Theorem 2 to show, for example, that the series
has a radius of convergence , if
and that
has a radius of convergence , if
By making the appropriate assumptions, we can prove that the radius of convergence is for the given series respectively.
Let the variable X2=Z, upon making the substitution the series becomes
It is given that the ratio
In general the radius of convergence is given by | x -x0 |=L .
In this case, the center point Z0 is 0, so it will be,
Similarly for the series,
We can re-write the equation as
If the series that is formed by taking the x common is convergent then the complete series will also be convergent with the same radius of convergence.
Therefore, the series for which we need to calculate the radius of convergence is
Let the variable x2 = z upon making the substitution the series becomes
It is given that the ratio
In general, the radius of convergence is given by
| x -x0 |=L
In this case, the center point Z0 is 0, so it will be
By making the appropriate assumptions, we can prove that the radius of convergence is for the given series respectively.
