Answer

$R=\frac{1}{2}$ ; the interval of convergence is $(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})$

Work Step by Step

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