Limsupremum calculation horrible difficulty

Homework Statement

Calculate the radius of convergence of \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_{n}z^{2n}
let \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_{n}z^{n}with radius R

Homework Equations

\limsup|a_n|^{\frac{1}{n}}=\limsup |\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|

The Attempt at a Solution

\limsup|a_n|^{\frac{1}{n}}=\lim_{k\to\infty}|a_{2k}|^{\frac{1}{2k}}
then how to write the "ratio"....
the latex is killin me please help....

You could use the limsup formula, but it's easier to think about what the radius of convergence means. Basically you're given that the original series converges for |z| < R and diverges for |z| > R, so what happens when you square z?
