Raduis of convergence.

Greetings
I have some problems finding the correct result

My solution:
I puted Y=6x+16
so now will try to find the raduis of convergence of Y
so let's calculate the raduis criteria of convergence:

• We know that Y=6x+16
• Conseqyently -21/6<=x<=-11/6 so the raduis must be 5/3. But this is not the solution!

Here is the solution of the book

I would like to know where is my mistake
thank you!

I am not sure about your notation \log^{2021}x. Is it
\log_{2021}x or
(\log x)^{2021}?

5 for 6x+16 and 5/2 for 3x+8 seem not different. What is the rule to define t for t^n series for convergence ?

(\log x)^{2021}?

I realize that I have the same confusion, I thought we were looking for the domain where x is convergent?
I understand I got the same results implicitely but did the book go for that particular set up?
thanks a million!
