Question

Find the radius of convergence for the given series:$\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }\frac{k!}{\left(k+m\right)!\left(k+m\right)!}{x}^k$

Short answer

The radius of convergence for the series is$R$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information. 

The given power series is$\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }\frac{k!}{\left(k+m\right)!\left(k+m\right)!}{x}^k$.

Step 2. Find the radius of convergence.  

Let us take $b_k=\frac{k!}{\left(k+m\right)!\left(k+m\right)!}{x}^k$therefore localid="1649443626355" $b_{k+1}=\frac{\left(k+1\right)!}{\left(k+1+m\right)!\left(k+1+m\right)!}{x}^{k+1}$

Ratio for the absolute convergence is

localid="1649443468258" $$\begin{gathered} \underset{k\to \infty }{\lim }\left|\frac{b_{k+1}}{b_k}\right|=\underset{k\to \infty }{\lim }\left|\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{\left(k+1\right)!}{\left(k+1+m\right)!\left(k+1+m\right)!}}{x}^{k+1}}{{\displaystyle \frac{k!}{\left(k+m\right)!\left(k+m\right)!}}{x}^k}\right| \\ =\underset{k\to \infty }{\lim }\left|\left(\frac{k+1}{\left(k+m\right)\left(k+m\right)}\right)x\right| \end{gathered}$$

Since, for $k\to \infty$The limit is zero irrespective of the value of variable.

$\underset{k\to \infty }{\lim }\left(\frac{k+1}{\left(k+m\right)\left(k+m\right)}\right)\left|x\right|=0$

So, by the ratio test the series converges absolutely for every value of $x$.

Therefore, the radius of the convergence for the series is$R$.
