Homework Statement
Determine the radius of Convergence using the ratio test of:
[tex]\sum_o^{\infty}\frac{n^6}{3^n+n}(x+4)^{8n+1}\qquad(1)[/tex]
Homework Equations
[tex]R = \frac{1}{\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\right|}\qquad(2)[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok. In order to use (2), we must first put (1) into standard form: [itex]\sum a_n(x - x_o)^n[/itex].
I am following a hint that I should let m = 8n +1 however I am not sure what to do with the summation limits? If m = 8n +1, then at n = 0, m = 1. So do I just run the sum from 1 to [itex]\infty[/itex]? And replace n everywhere with n = (m - 1)/8 ?
Thanks!
