Solution
To find the radius of convergence for the given power series, we need to analyze the series:
The radius of convergence can be determined using the ratio test. First, let's simplify the expression inside the summation:
-
Double factorial expressions:
- For an odd :
- For an even :
- For and , we need to apply these definitions accordingly.
-
Apply the ratio test: where .
To simplify, let's compute the ratio :
[ \left| \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right| = \left| \frac{5^{n+1} \cdot (n+1)! \cdot (4(n+1)+2)! \cdot (2(n+1))!!}{6^{n+1} \cdot [(n+4)!]^4 \cdot (4(n+1)-1)!!} \cdot \frac{6^n \cdot [(n+3)!]^4 \cdot (4n-1)!!}{5^n \cdot n! \cdot (4n+2)! \cdot (2n)!!} (-3x+4) \right| ]
Simplify the ratio:
Simplify the factorial terms and constants:
Using Stirling's approximation for large :
Applying this to the factorials:
This simplifies further, but the dominant terms are:
Thus, the radius of convergence is given by the reciprocal of the limit of the ratio:
Finally,
So, the radius of convergence is .
