(10a). The power series converges when |x ˗̶̶̶ 1| < 1 by the ratio test, which gives a radius of
convergence 1 and interval of convergence centered at 1. The series diverges at x = 2 (harmonic series)
but converges at x = 0 (alternate harmonic series), so the interval of convergence is 0 ≤ x < 2.

(10b). The power series converges when |x ˗̶̶̶ 1| < 1 by the ratio test, which gives a radius of
convergence 1 and interval of convergence centered at 1. The series diverges at x = 0 (harmonic series)
but converges at x = 2 (alternate harmonic series), so the interval of convergence is 0 < x ≤ 2.

(10c). The power series converges when |x + 1| < 5 by the ratio test, which gives a radius of
convergence 5 and interval of convergence centered at ˗̶̶̶ 1. The series diverges at x = 4 (harmonic
series) but converges at x = ˗̶̶̶ 6 (alternate harmonic series), so the interval of convergence is ˗̶̶̶ 6 ≤ x < 4.

(10d). The power series converges when |x + 1| < 5 by the ratio test, which gives a radius of
convergence 5 and interval of convergence centered at ˗̶̶̶ 1. The series diverges at x = ˗̶̶̶ 6 (harmonic
series) but converges at x = 4 (alternate harmonic series), so the interval of convergence is ˗̶̶̶ 6 < x ≤ 4.
