What is the method for finding the eigenvector for A-0I?
For A-5I x1 = x3 x2 = x3 so [1;1;1] is the eigenvector for \lambda = 5 [2,1,2;2,1,2;2,1,2] * [1;1;1] = [5;5;5] But I'm still not sure how to find the eigenvectors for A-0I- ganondorf29

Finding the Power Series of f(x) = 10/(1-5x)
One more thing. To find the interval on convergence, I know I have to take the ratio test as n-->infinity. Is this how I'm supposed to set it up? lim [x^(n+1) * 5^(n+1) / (n+1)*(n+1)] * [(n*n/x^n*5^x)] n->inf After canceling out some factors I got: lim 1/(2n+1) =...- ganondorf29
