Answer

The radius of convergent: $1$ The interval of convergence: $(2,4]$

Work Step by Step

Let $a_n=(-1)^n\frac{(x-3)^n}{2n+1}$. It can be checked $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=\frac{-(2n+1)(x-3)}{2n+3}$. We know that $\lim \frac{-(2n+1)}{2n+3}=-1$. Then, $\lim|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|=|x-3|$. Find the interval of convergence: $|x-3|<1$ $(2,4]$
