    This document provides an overview of power series and how to determine the domain of convergence for a power series. It defines a power series as the sum of terms with coefficients multiplied by a variable raised to increasing powers. The domain of convergence is the set of values for the variable where the series converges. It presents the ratio test and root test as methods to evaluate the radius of convergence and determine if the series converges inside, outside or at the boundary of the radius. Examples are given to find the radius and domain of convergence for specific power series.

    POWER SERIES
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A power series is a series of the form:


    ∞
    ∑ n
    c x n
    = c 0 + c1 x + c 2 x 2
    + c 3 x 3
    + ... (1)
    n=0
    where x: variable and the cn’s are constants: coefficients of (1).

    The domain of convergence of (1) is the set of all x for which (1)
    converges. Example: Σxn has the domain of convergence: (–1, 1)
    ∞
    General, a power series about x = a has the form: ∑ cn ( x − a )
    n

    n =0

    Example : ∑
    ( − 1)n ( x + 1)n
    ∞
    = 1−
    ( x + 1) ( x + 1)2 ( x + 1)3
    + − + ...
    n =0 2n + 1 3 5 7

    1 cn +1 1
    Evaluate the number R defined by = lim or = lim n cn
    R n → ∞ cn R n→∞

    ™ If 0 < R < +∞: (1) absolutely converges for –R < x < R (inside
    (–R, R) and diverges outside [–R, R]. At boundary x = ± R: Direct
    substitution in (1) and direct study of convegence.
    ⎧ x < R ⇒ − R < x < R : Converges Number R:
    ⎪
    Remember ⎨ x = R ⇒ x = ± R : Direct substituti on Radius of
    ⎪ x > R ⇒ Diverges
    ⎩ convergence

    Attention: At boundary x = ± R: never use Ratio or Rooth Test

    ™ R = + ∞ ⇒ Domain of convergence: ℜ. R = 0 ⇒ Domain: { 0 }.
