R0046-23833 · q-20261014-advance-20261112-r05-power-series-radius-of-convergence-0008

Original question and givens

Use a_n=(8/9)^n for every n≥0, positive ratio q=8/9, and center c=-5. Give (coefficient_law, center, radius, interior_status, exterior_status, boundary).

  • G001 — Use a_n=(8/9)^n for every n≥0, positive ratio q=8/9, and center c=-5. Give (coefficient_law, center, radius, interior_status, exterior_status, boundary).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source operation=radius-geometric-exact;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[coefficient_law, center, radius, interior_status, exterior_status, boundary]

Conditions: none

Keep the source snapshot while listing ordered fields without JavaScript.Radius uses its original mode to select6 or11 fields without padding;distinguish nonclaims from actual negations.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

Radius ORIGINAL positive coefficient-ratio reciprocal := div(1, 8/9)

After

Radius ORIGINAL positive coefficient-ratio reciprocal = 9/8

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,without floats or treating finite tests as universal limits.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL WHOLE a_n=(8/9)^n for EVERY n>=0;center=-5;positive q=8/9

After

absolute geometric term ratio=q*|x-center|;less than1 gives absolute convergence,greater than1 makes terms not tend0;exact radius1/q=9/8

Conditions: none

Use the law for every n,not a handful of coefficients.Keep interior and exterior separate and audit endpoints separately;a radius does not replace endpoint conclusions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: radius_WHOLE_geometric_inside_outside_not_finite_coefficients · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Radius ORIGINAL positive coefficient-ratio reciprocal with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(a_n=(8/9)^n_for_every_n>=0, -5, 9/8, absolute_convergence_inside, divergence_outside, endpoints_require_separate_audit)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
