Question

Define the double factorial of n, denoted n!!, as follows:n!!={1⋅3⋅5⋅⋅⋅⋅(n−2)⋅n} if n is odd{2⋅4⋅6⋅⋅⋅⋅(n−2)⋅n} if n is evenand (−1)!! =0!! =1.Find the radius of convergence for the given power series.[(8^n*n!*(3n+3)!*(2n)!!)/(2^n*[(n+9)!]^3*(4n+3)!!)]*(8x+6)^n

Answer 1

Answer:

Radius of convergence of power series is $\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n+1}}=\frac{1}{108}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

n!! = 1⋅3⋅5⋅⋅⋅⋅(n−2)⋅n        n is odd

n!! = 2⋅4⋅6⋅⋅⋅⋅(n−2)⋅n       n is even

(-1)!! = 0!! = 1

We have to find the radius of convergence of power series:

$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}[\frac{8^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{2^{n}[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}](8x+6)^{n}\\\\\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}[\frac{8^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{2^{n}[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}]2^{n}(4x+3)^{n}\\\\\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}[\frac{8^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}](x+\frac{3}{4})^{n}$

Power series centered at x = a is:

$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}c_{n}(x-a)^{n}$

$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}[\frac{8^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{2^{n}[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}](8x+6)^{n}\\\\\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}[\frac{8^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{2^{n}[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}]2^{n}(4x+3)^{n}\\\\\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}[\frac{8^{n}4^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}](x+\frac{3}{4})^{n}$

$a_{n}=[\frac{8^{n}4^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}]\\\\a_{n+1}=[\frac{8^{n+1}4^{n+1}n!(3(n+1)+3)!(2(n+1))!!}{[(n+1+9)!]^{3}(4(n+1)+3)!!}]\\\\a_{n+1}=[\frac{8^{n+1}4^{n+1}(n+1)!(3n+6)!(2n+2)!!}{[(n+10)!]^{3}(4n+7)!!}]$

Applying the ratio test:

$\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n+1}}=\frac{[\frac{32^{n}n!(3n+3)!(2n)!!}{[(n+9)!]^{3}(4n+3)!!}]}{[\frac{32^{n+1}(n+1)!(3n+6)!(2n+2)!!}{[(n+10)!]^{3}(4n+7)!!}]}$

$\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n+1}}=\frac{(n+10)^{3}(4n+7)(4n+5)}{32(n+1)(3n+4)(3n+5)(3n+6)+(2n+2)}$

Applying n → ∞

$\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n+1}}= \lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{(n+10)^{3}(4n+7)(4n+5)}{32(n+1)(3n+4)(3n+5)(3n+6)+(2n+2)}$

The numerator as well denominator of $\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n+1}}$ are polynomials of fifth degree with leading coefficients:

$(1^{3})(4)(4)=16\\(32)(1)(3)(3)(3)(2)=1728\\ \lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n+1}}=\frac{16}{1728}=\frac{1}{108}$
