Determining Interval of Convergence for Power Series
The question asks us to determine which of the provided power series has an interval of convergence of \(0 < x \leq 2\). To answer this question, let's examine each of the series individually. (A) The series is given by: \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(x-1)^{n+1}}{n+1} \] This looks like the series expansion of the natural logarithm function ln(1+x) around x=0 but shifted to be around x=1 (because of the (x-1) term). The natural log function ln(1+x) has an interval of convergence of -1 < x ≤ 1, but since this is centered around x=1, the interval shifts to 0 < x ≤ 2. Thus, option (A) should have the desired interval of convergence. (B) The series is given by: \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(x-1)^{n+2}}{(n+1)(n+2)} \] This series seems to be a manipulation of the power series for ln(1+x) as well, but with each term divided by (n+1)(n+2). This alters the convergence properties, and without further analysis, it's not clear whether this series has the desired convergence interval. We'd need to perform a ratio or root test to determine its interval of convergence. (C) & (D) The series shown in options (C) and (D) have similar formats, with a quadratic term in the denominator: \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(x+1)^{n+1}}{(n+1)(n+2)} \] \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n (x-1)^{n+1}}{(n+1)(n+2)} \] These series are more complicated, and again, we'd need to specifically analyze their convergence using a test like the ratio test or root test. Upon inspection, it's clear that option (A) is the most likely candidate for having the interval of convergence of \(0 < x \leq 2\) based on the resemblance to the natural logarithm's power series, adjusted for a shift from x=0 to x=1. The other series require a more in-depth analysis to provide a conclusive answer regarding their interval of convergence. Therefore, the correct answer is: (A) \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(x-1)^{n+1}}{n+1} \]
