Answer

$R=\infty$ ; interval of convergence is $(-\infty,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Let $a_{n}=\frac{(x-2)^{n}}{n^{n}}$, then $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\dfrac{\frac{(x-2)^{n+1}}{n^{n+1}}}{\frac{(x-2)^{n}}{n^{n}}}|$ $=|x+2|\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{1}{n}$ $=0$ Hence, $R=\infty$ ; interval of convergence is $(-\infty,\infty)$
