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 ?

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!
 

Thread 'Prove that the integral is equal to ##\pi^2/8##'

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...

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
