Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Given $\sum c_nx^n$ diverges when $x=6$ Using the Ratio Test, $\lim |\frac{c_{n+1}6^{n+1}}{c_n6^n}|>1$ $\lim |\frac{6c_{n+1}}{c_n}|>1$ (Multiply by $10/6$) $\lim |\frac{10c_{n+1}}{c_n}|>\frac{10}{6}$ It implies that $\lim |\frac{c_{n+1}10^{n+1}}{c_n10^n}|=\lim |\frac{10c_{n+1}}{c_n}|>\frac{10}{6}>1$ So, the series $\sum c_nx^n$ diverges when $x=10$.
