Answer

Interval of Convergence: $e^{-1} \lt x \lt e$ and $\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (\ln x)^n=\dfrac{1}{1-\ln x}$

Work Step by Step

The series will converge when $|f(x)|=|\ln x| \lt 1$ So, $-1 \lt \ln x \lt 1$ $ \implies e^{-1} \lt x \lt e$ $ \implies e^{-1} \lt x \lt e$ Now, the sum of the given geometric series is: $S=\dfrac{a}{1-r}=\dfrac{1}{1-\ln x}$ Thus, the Interval of Convergence is: $e^{-1} \lt x \lt e$ and $\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (\ln x)^n=\dfrac{1}{1-\ln x}$
