Answer

$\rho =2$

Work Step by Step

$\sum_{\infty }^{n=0}(\frac{n}{2^n}x^n)$ $\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\rightarrow \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \left | \frac{(x^{n+1}(n+1)}{2^{n+1}}\;.\;\frac{2^n}{nx^n} \right | = \left | \frac{x}{2} \right | \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \left | \frac{n+1}{n} \right |$ $|\frac{x}{2}|<1\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ $\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;|x|<2$ Diameter of convergence = 4 Radius of convergence $(\rho ) = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{4}{2}=2$ $\rho =2$
