Answer

Radius of convergence: 1

Work Step by Step

We are given $(1+x)^k$. Write the binomial series expansion: $(1+x)^k=\binom{k}{0}+\binom{k}{1}x+\binom{k}{2}x^2+\binom{k}{3}x^3+....+\binom{k}{k}x^k$ $=1+kx+\dfrac{k(k-1}{2!}x^2+\dfrac{k(k-1)(k-2)}{3!}+....+x^k$. The radius of convergence for the series is 1.
