The series only converges when x = 0.b. The series converges absolutely for all real values of x.c. The series converges absolutely for all x (-R, R) and diverges when x > R or x < -R. The behavior a x = R can vary.R is called the Radius of Convergence. (-R,R) or [-R,R] or (-R,R] or [-R,R) is called the Interval of Convergence.Power Series: Example1( )1f xx=-and determine its interval of convergence.Find the power series for( )10( ) 1 1xf x x-== - =( )4(3)0( ) 2 3 1 3!xf x x-== - =g( )20'( ) 1 1xf x x-== - =( )5(4)0( ) 2 3 4 1 4!xf x x-== - =gg( )30''( ) 2 1 2xf x x-== - =( )( 1)( )0( ) ! 1 !nnxf x n x n- +== - =Power Series: Example1( )1f xx=-and determine its interval of convergence.?Find the power series for( )( 1)( )0( ) ! 1 !nnxf x n x n- +== - =011kkxx�==-�1Ratio Test: lim 1Divergent if 1 (Why?)kkkxxxx+��= <=�Interval of Convergence is ( 1,1).\ -Power Series in x–x000( )kkkc x x�=-�2 30 1 0 2 0 3 00( ) ( ) ( ) ( )nnc c x x c x x c x xc x x= + - + - + -+ + - +ggg gggNOTE: Every Taylor series is a power series in x-x0.where, each ck is a constant.Convergence Power Series in x-x000( )kkkc x x�=-�convergent?For what values of x isFor any power series, one of the following will be true:a.
