Answer

$$3$$

Work Step by Step

Given: $a_n=\dfrac{n!}{3 \cdot 6.....3n}x^n$ Let us apply the Ratio Test to the given series. In order to solve this series, we have: $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|=|\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{a_n (\dfrac{x}{3})}{a_n}| \\=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |\dfrac{x}{3}|$ Now, $|\dfrac{x}{3}| \lt 1$ and $|x| \lt 3$ The radius of convergence is: $3$
