Ratio test :

\

The ratio test for absolute convergence of $\"\"$ is :

\

Let $\"\"$

\

1.If $\"\"$ , then the series converges absolutely.

\

2. If $\"\"$ , then the series diverges.

\

3.If $\"\"$ , then additional investigation required.

\

$\"\"$

\

The series is $\"\"$ .

\

Rewrite the series as $\"\"$ .

\

Consider $\"\"$ .

\

The value of $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

If $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

The series is convergence for all values of $\"\"$ and the radius of the convergence is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, the series is converges in the interval $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The radius of the convergence is $\"\"$ and the series is converges in the interval $\"\"$ .
