Step 1/4

The sum of infinite terms of a sequence or the terms that follow a general pattern is called a
series.
For, the real series, there is an interval of convergence but for a complex series there exists a
disk of convergence.
Step 2/4

Consider the complex power series:

The above series is convergent for all values of that satisfy the condition:

Step 3/4

The general term of the above series is:

Consider the ratio test for the above series:

 Step 4/4

Continue further as shown below:

Hence, the disk of convergence is .
