Is this the full problem statement? You need to specify a value for ##x## to know whether the series converges or not. Furthermore, there really should be no ##=## inside your sum.

Yes.

I am sorry, but it cannot be the full problem statement. A full problem statement is not just a sum without specifications of what goes inside it. Please reproduce the full problem statement exactly as given.
