For each of the following problems, we wish to select the choice which gives complete, correct
information.
15. The se

a) converges at 0x  only.
b) converges for all x.
c) has radius of convergence 2

R  .
d) converges for x in the half-open interval  2 23 3,  only.
e) converges for all x in    23, 2, .  

First we consider 1,x  for which the series alternates. In this case,  S x converges if
and only if the terms approach zero as k goes to infinity. We have

Thus we see that lim 0k

which holds if and only if
 2 1 2 1 2 2,x x x x x      

which in turn holds if and only if
0 2,x 
i.e., if and only if 2.x 

Next we consider the case 0 1,x  for which each term ka in the series is nonnegative.
We still have

By the root test, we see that  S x converges if
