Answer to Problem 55E

The nth term formula for the given function is 2n1xn and the interval of convergence is (12,12) .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The function is x12x .

Concept used:

The mathematical expression of infinite geometric series in general is written as a+ar+ar2+ar3+ where the first term of the series is a and the common ratio between two consecutive terms is r .

The convergence test of series states that the geometric series converges if |r|<1 otherwise the series diverges where r is the constant ratio.

Furthermore, the convergence test of geometric series also ensures that the convergent infinite geometric series n=1arn1 converges to a1r .

Calculation:

The given function is x12x .

The given function fits the formula for infinite geometric series n=1arn1 that converges to a1r .

The values are obtained as a=x,r=2x by comparing the given function with a1r .

Write the mathematical expression of infinite geometric series in this form a+ar+ar2+ar3+arn+ .

  x+2x2+8x3+16x4+2n1xn+

The nth term formula for the given function can be expressed as follows:

  x+2x2+8x3+16x4+2n1xn

Here, the initial term is x and each sequential term is multiplied by 2x and the last term is the nth term that is equal to 2n1xn .

The convergence test of geometric series states that the geometric series converges if |r|<1 .

Therefore, the value of |2x|<1 .

Find the interval of convergence with r=2x by the absolute function definition and convergence test of geometric series.

  |2x|<11<2x<112<x<12

Therefore, the interval of convergence is (12,12) .

Conclusion:

Thus, the nth term formula for the given function is 2n1xn and the interval of convergence is (12,12) .
