calculus - Manipulating a Power Series to change convergence at endpoints



The problem is to find a power series that satisfies convergence on the interval [1,3),(1,3),(1,3], and [1,3]. I have worked out a general form equation that satisfies the first two, but I am having issues trying to manipulate the formula for parts 3 and 4.



General Eq. n=1(x1)n2n

for (1,3)
and n=1(x1)nn2n
for 1,3)



No matter what I try It seems like the numerator will always be 2n

or the bounds of convergence change. If it isn't possible would my explanation be the reason why?


Answer




For the (1,3], the idea used for [1,3) will work. Just multiply by (1)n.



For [1,3], try (x1)nn22n.
