Answer

$R=5$ and Interval of convergence is $(-5,5]$

Work Step by Step

Given: $a_n=\frac{x^n}{n5^ n}$ Thus, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\dfrac{\dfrac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)5^{n+1}}}{\dfrac{x^n}{n5^ n}}|=\dfrac{|x|}{5}$ Hence, $R=5$ and Interval of convergence is $(-5,5]$
