(a) Sincelimk+(x 4)k+1/k + 1(x 4)k/k= limk+ kk + 1(x 4)=

Chapter 9, Problem 4

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Since

\(\lim _{k \rightarrow+\infty}\left|\frac{(x-4)^{k+1} / \sqrt{k+1}}{(x-4)^{k} / \sqrt{k}}\right|=\lim _{k \rightarrow+\infty}\left|\sqrt{\frac{k}{k+1}}(x-4)\right|\)

                                      \(=|x-4|\)

he radius of convergence for the infinite series \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}(1 / \sqrt{k})(x-4)^{k}\) is _______.

(b) When \(x=3\),

             \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}(x-4)^{k}=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}(-1)^{k}\)

Does this series converge or diverge?

lim _k right arrow +  infinity |(x-4)^k+1/ sqrt k+1 /(x-4)^k/ sqrt k| = lim_k right arrow + infinity |k/k+1(x-4) =|x-4|

sum_k=1^ infinity (1/ sqrt k)(x-4)^k

x=3

sum_k=1^infinity 1/sqrt k (x-4)^k = sum_k=1^ infinity 1/sqrt k (-1)^k
