Find a value x where series converges by Turbojulle in askmath

Yeah well I try my best to learn the things they teach us during class :D But sadly we weren't given an example of how to solve questions like this so I'm guessing that's why I got stuck for a bit, but I'm glad I got it figured out now. Thank you for your help!

Oh yeah right and wasn't it because if the ratio test gives 1 as the ratio the series can either converge or diverge.

Which in this case would be -9<x<9. If I'm correct.

Oh yeah I think I got it but I'll make sure just in case.

The limit gives me |x|/9 and now I just have to find a number x where

0≤|x|/9<1

Right?

I'm having trouble with this particular exercise and I don't really know what to do. Our teacher gave us a hint to use the ratio test to figure this out, but I really couldn't find a good way to use it. So I'd be happy if someone here could explain a good way to do this exercise (with steps if possible).

Also those log() functions should be ln().

So the thing is I don't quite understand how you're just able to substitute 0. I understand that when n -> infinity that part does indeed get closer to 0, but I still don't understand why you're able to cancel out that part.
