a) The power series converges for all x in 鈩. b) The power series converges only for x = 2. c) The power series converges for all x in 鈩.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the sequence

We have a power series in the form of: \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n \left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\), where \(a_n = \frac{(-1)^{n}\left(2^{n}+1\right)}{n}\).
02

Apply the root test

Apply the root test to the sequence \(a_n\). The root test is used to determine convergence by examining the limit \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{|a_n|}\): $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt[n]{\left|\frac{(-1)^{n}\left(2^{n}+1\right)}{n}\right|} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2+\frac{1}{2^{n}}}{\sqrt[n]{n}}$$
03

Evaluate the limit

In order to evaluate the limit, divide the numerator and the denominator by \(2^n\): $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\frac{2^{n+1}+1}{2^n}}{\frac{n^{1/n}}{2^n}} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{2+\frac{1}{2^n}}{\frac{n^{1/n}}{2^n}}$$ Since \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{2^n} = 0\) and \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n^{1/n}}{2^n} = 0\), the limit becomes: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{2+\frac{1}{2^n}}{\frac{n^{1/n}}{2^n}} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{2}{0} = \infty$$
04

Determine convergence

As the limit from the root test is infinite, the power series converges for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}\). (b) \(\left(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1-(-2)^{-n-1} n !}{n !}(x-2)^{n}\right)\)
05

Identify the sequence

We have a power series in the form of: \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} b_n (x-2)^n\), where \(b_n = \frac{1-(-2)^{-n-1} n !}{n !}\).
06

Apply the ratio test

Apply the ratio test to the sequence \(b_n\). The ratio test is used to determine convergence by examining the limit \(\lim_{n\to\infty} |\frac{b_{n+1}}{b_n}|\): $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \left| \frac{\frac{1-(-2)^{-(n+1)-1} (n+1) !}{(n+1) !}}{\frac{1-(-2)^{-n-1} n !}{n !}} \right| = \lim_{n\to\infty} \left| \frac{1-(-2)^{-n} (n+1)}{1-(-2)^{-n-1} n} \right|$$
07

Evaluate the limit

In order to evaluate the limit, multiply the numerator and the denominator by \((-2)^n\): $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \left| \frac{-2^n + n+1}{-2^n n + n} \right|$$ Since the leading term on both the numerator and the denominator is \(-2^n\), we can simplify the limit as follows: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \left| \frac{n+1}{n} \right| = 1$$
08

Determine convergence

As the limit from the ratio test is 1, the power series converges only for \(x = 2\) (where \(|x-2| < 1\)). (c) $\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}}\left[\sqrt{n^{2}+n}-\sqrt{n^{2}+1}\right]^{n}(x+1)^{n}\right)$
09

Identify the sequence

We have a power series in the form of: \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} c_n (x+1)^n\), where \(c_n = \frac{1}{n^2}\left[\sqrt{n^2+n}-\sqrt{n^2+1}\right]^n\).
10

Apply the root test

Apply the root test to the sequence \(c_n\). The root test is used to determine convergence by examining the limit \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{|c_n|}\): $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt[n]{\left|\frac{1}{n^2}\left[\sqrt{n^2+n}-\sqrt{n^2+1}\right]^n\right|}$$
11

Evaluate the limit

Observe that the expression \(\frac{1}{n^2}\left[\sqrt{n^2+n}-\sqrt{n^2+1}\right]^n\) is positive. We can rewrite the limit as: $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sqrt[n]{\left[\sqrt{n^2+n}-\sqrt{n^2+1}\right]^n}}{\sqrt[n]{n^2}} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sqrt{n^2+n}-\sqrt{n^2+1}}{\sqrt[ n]{n^2}}$$
12

Simplify the limit with L'H么pital's Rule

Apply L'H么pital's rule on limit, we have $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\frac{n}{\sqrt{n^2+n}}-\frac{n}{\sqrt{n^2+1}}}{\frac{2n}{\sqrt[n]{n^2}}}$$ Consider the limit of the numerator $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n}{\sqrt{n^2+n}}-\frac{n}{\sqrt{n^2+1}} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n\sqrt{n^2+1}-n\sqrt{n^2+n}}{\sqrt{n^2+n}\cdot\sqrt{n^2+1}}$$ Apply L'H么pital's rule on the numerator $$\lim_{n\to\infty}-\frac{n}{\sqrt{n^2+n}\cdot\sqrt{n^2+1}} = 0$$ So, we have $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sqrt{n^2+n}-\sqrt{n^2+1}}{\sqrt[ n]{n^2}} = \frac{0}{\infty} = 0$$
13

Determine convergence

As the limit from the root test is 0, the power series converges for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}\).
