The power series is
g(x) = -2x - (2x)2/2 - (2x)3/3 -(2x)4/4 -.......-(2x)n/n - .....
To deduce the power series of g(x) from the power series for f(x) and identify its radius of convergence
The power series for f(x) is just the geometric series derived from 1/1-y ,setting y=2x.
Its radius of convergence is 0.5
Let,
f(x)= 1/1-2x = 1+ (2x) + (2x)2 + .........+(2x)n......+....
The power series expansion (geometric series),
valid for I2xI < 1 , IxI < 0.5
so, radius of convergence = 0.5
The power series for g(x) is found by integrating term by term the power series of f(x) (upto a constant). The radius of converngence of g(d) is the same as that of f(x) (from general theory) =0.5
Now, g(x) = ln(1-2x)
= -2
=-2
g(x) = -2x - (2x)2/2 - (2x)3/3 -(2x)4/4 -.......-(2x)n/n - .....
is the power series expansion for g(x).
radius of convergence =0.5
