Homework Statement



Find the interval of convergence for the given power series.
Sum from n=1 to infinty of (x-11)^n / (n(-9)^n)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I used the ratio test and I'm getting 2<x<20, but that doesn't seem to be right. I get abs(1/9*(x-11)) < 1, which simplifies into 2<x<20. I couldn't sworn I did this problem correctly, but I'm not getting the correct answer. Any help would be great.

That is the correct interval, but don't forget you have to check the two end points separately.
 
Here the thing, I entered all possible compinations for the endpoints just to check my answer for the interval and they were all wrong. Just to double check it does not converge at 2 and does at 20, right?
 
Ok it accepts my answer now. It was probably something on my end but thanks anyways.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
