Homework Statement



does there exist a power series that converges at z= 2+31 and diverges at z=3-i

Im really stuck on this one! any ideas?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do you mean 2+3i and 3-i? And do you mean a power series centered at z=0? There is a theorem about convergence of power series based on a radius of convergence. Can you find it?
 
Yes, sorry my question is to determine whether there exists a power series that converges at z = 2 + 3i and diverges at z = 3 - i.
 
Ok, so is the power series just a sum of z^i (as opposed to (z-c)^i)? And what do you know about 'radius of convergence'?
 

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...
