OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

can someone show me how to find the interval and radius of convergence

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

\[\sum_{?}^{?}\sin^k(1/k)x^k\]

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

and this problem \[\sum_{?}^{?} (x/3)^k\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

apply root test, you have \[\sqrt[k]{sin^k(1/k) x^k}= sin(1/k)|x|\] As \(k\rightarrow \infty,1/k\rightarrow 0\rightarrow sin(1/k)\rightarrow 0\), hence the radius of convergence is 0

OpenStudy (loser66):

Same as the second one, you have (1/3) |x| <1, then the series convergence, hence \[-1< \dfrac{x}{3}<1\rightarrow -3<x<3\], Hence the radius of convergence is 3|dw:1477440281812:dw|

OpenStudy (zaxoanl):

for the first one it says the answer is R=infinite interval (- infinite, infinite)

OpenStudy (loser66):

:)

OpenStudy (holsteremission):

Right, the first series' radius of convergence is \(\dfrac{1}{R}=\infty\) because the limit from the root test is \(R=0\).
