Power Series There are exactly three possibilities for a power series: Case 1.The series converges only at x =0.This is what happens with ∑kx Forx0,kkxk0,and so the series cannot converge. Case 2.The series converges absolutely at all real numbers x.This is what happens with the exponential series Case 3.There exists a positive number r such that the series converges absolutely forr.This is what happens with the geometric series ∑ Here there is absolute convergence for1.
