Answer

$4+\frac{x-16}{8}\Sigma_{n=2}^{\infty}(-1)^{n+1}\frac{1.3.5....(2n-3)(x-16)^{n}}{2^{5n-2}n!}$ and $R=16$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt x=4+\frac{x-16}{8}\Sigma_{n=2}^{\infty}(-1)^{n+1}\frac{1.3.5....(2n-3)(x-16)^{n}}{2^{5n-2}n!}$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{\frac{1.3.5....(2n-3)(2n-1)(x-16)^{n+1}}{2^{5(n+1)-2}(n+1)!}}{\frac{1.3.5....(2n-3)(x-16)^{n}}{2^{5n-2}n!}}|$ $=|\frac{x}{16}-1|\lt 1$ $-1\lt \frac{x}{16}-1 \lt 1$ $0 \lt x\lt 32$ The radius of convergence is always half of the width of the interval, so $R=16$.
