Problem

Consider the two power series, each centered at x=−1x=-1: I. ∑n=0∞(x+1)n3n\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(x+1)^{n}}{3^{n}} II. ∑n=1∞n(x+1)n5n\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n(x+1)^{n}}{5^{n}} What is the largest interval (centered at −1-1) on which both series converge? (a) (−6,4)(-6,4) (b) [−4,2][-4,2] (c) (−4,2)(-4,2) (d) (−5,3)(-5,3)
