Answer

The given series converges with a radius of convergence of $|x|\lt 2$.

Work Step by Step

$a_{n}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{b_n}{n+1}x^{n+1}$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{\frac{b_n+1}{(n+1)+1}x^{(n+1)+1}}{\frac{b_n}{n+1}x^{n+1}}|$ $=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{x}{2}|\lt 1$ $=|x|\lt 2$ The given series converges with a radius of convergence of $|x|\lt 2$.
