(a) (i) State the ratio test for the convergence of a real series with positive terms.
(ii) Define the radius of convergence of a real power series .
(iii) Prove that the real power series and have equal radii of convergence.
(iv) State the relationship between and within their interval of convergence.
(b) (i) Prove that the real series
have radius of convergence .
(ii) Show that they are differentiable on the real line , with and , and deduce that .
[You may use, without proof, general theorems about differentiating within the interval of convergence, provided that you give a clear statement of any such theorem.]
