Summation of Series: Is the Radius from -∞ to ∞?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the convergence of the series defined by the expression sum ((x-1)^(2n-2))/((2n-1)!) for n=1 to infinity. The user applied the ratio test and concluded that the radius of convergence is from negative infinity to infinity, indicating that the series converges for all values of x. This conclusion was affirmed by another participant in the discussion, confirming the correctness of the user's findings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of series convergence and divergence
  • Familiarity with the ratio test for series
  • Basic knowledge of factorial notation and its properties
  • Concept of radius of convergence in power series
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of the ratio test in greater detail
  • Explore the concept of radius of convergence in power series
  • Learn about other convergence tests, such as the root test
  • Investigate the implications of convergence for different values of x in series
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and anyone involved in series analysis or calculus, particularly those focusing on convergence tests and power series.

Homework Statement


sum ((x-1)^(2n-2))/((2n-1)!) n=1..infinity?
after doing the ratio test, i found that the radius is from negative infinity to infinity (converges for all x).
is this right?
if not can you steer me in the right direction, please.
