Answer

the intervals of convergence series; $I=(-1,1)$

Work Step by Step

Given: $f(x)=\frac{1}{x+1}$ Now we have to write the function in the form of $\frac{1}{1-r}$, then we get the power series as ; $f(x)=\frac{1}{1+x}$ $=\frac{1}{1-(-x)}$ $=\sum_ {n=0}^ {\infty}(-x)^n$ $=\sum_ {n=0}^ {\infty}(-1)^n(x)^n$ with $|-x|<1$ $\implies~~|x|<1$, so $R=1$, Hence, intervals of convergence series; $I=(-1,1)$
