The radius is the reciprocal of the root

Consider the power series with coefficients in real numbers . Which of the following statements is true?

  1. A.The radius of convergence of the series is 1/e
  2. B.The series converges at x = 5
  3. C.The series converges at x = 3
  4. D.The series converges for all x with |x| < 1/2

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
