Ratio test : \ \
\Let
be a series with non zero terms. \ \
1.
converges absolutely if
. \ \
2.
diverges if
or
. \ \
3. The ratio test is inconclusive if
. \ \
Here
and

Find

\ \
\ \
\ \
\ \
By the ratio test, the series
is convergent when
. \ \
\ \
Radius of the convergence is half the width of the interval.
\
\ \
Radius of convergence is
. \ \
\ \
Check the interval of convergence at the end points. \ \
\For

\ \
\ \
The series
is convergent by alternating series test. \ \
For
,
\ \
\ \
is divergent series with
. \ \
Therefore, interval of convergence is
. \ \
\ \
Radius of convergence is
. \ \
Interval of convergence is
.
