Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Let $a_{n}=\frac{n^{2}x^{n}}{2.4.6.....(2n)}=\frac{n^{2}x^{n}}{2^{n}n!}$, then $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\dfrac{\frac{(n+1)^{2}x^{n+1}}{2^{n+1}(n+1)!}}{\frac{n^{2}x^{n}}{2^{n}n!}}|$ $=0\lt 1$ Hence, $R=\infty$ ; interval of convergence is $(-\infty,\infty)$
