25. The radius of convergence of the series \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(x-2)^n}{n} \] is \(1\). What is the interval of convergence?






Answer is: option4

\( 1 \le x < 3 \)

Solution:

A radius of convergence of \(1\) implies \[ |x-2|<1 \]

Thus the series converges for \[ 1

Checking endpoints:

At \(x=1\): \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{n} \] which is a convergent alternating harmonic series.

At \(x=3\): \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n} \] which is the divergent harmonic series.

Therefore, the interval of convergence is \[ 1\le x<3 \]
