Finding the Interval of Convergence for a Series

Hello everyone, I'm confused (as usual). I think i found the radius of convergence but then waht do i do to find the interval on which it converges?

The directions says:
Find all the values of x such that the given series would converge.

The series is convergent
from x = , left end included (enter Y or N):
to x = , right end included (enter Y or N):

Here is my work:

Any help would be great! thankss!

OKay i had to of messed up finding the radius of convergence. I looked at a tutoiral and it should be right...
I got
(-7,7); for the interval, which was wrong though. Can you see where i screwed it up? it should be open brackets i got that part right

Okay i did it again, and i tried (-14,14), now i have 75% of the question rgiht, so either -14 is wrong or 14 is wrong but i don't see how u can get any other number then that.
if u have
|(x-7)/7| < 1

and
|(x-7)/7| > 1

Why did \left|\frac{x-7}{7}\right|&lt; 1 become x-7< 7??
Shouldn't it be |x-7|< 7? And doesn't that mean that -7< x- 7< 7?
So that 0< x- 7< 14?
 
Thanks Ivey ur the man! i forgot all about that rule!
w00t.
 
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...
