Hint requested for: If $sum_{n=0}^{infty} a_n x^n$ converges for some $x_0$, then it converges uniformly and...

$begingroup$


I would like to prove




If $displaystylesum_{n=0}^{infty} a_n x^n$ converges for some $x_0$, then it converges uniformly and absolutely on $[-a, a]$ with $0<a<|x_0|$. (Sorry not enough characters to put $0<a$ in the title)




I can easily look at the proof in my book, but I really want to learn how to think about analysis and be able to prove these things on my own.



I tried to make it easier by assuming that $x_0>0$ and $forall (n in mathbb{N}) a_n>0$. In this case, we can apply the $M$-Test with $M_n = a_n x_0^n$.



However, I'm not sure how to modify this to work in the general case.

Since the series $displaystylesum_{n=0}^infty a_n{x_0}^n$ converges, you know that $lim_{ntoinfty}a_n{x_0}^n=0$. This is equivalent to the ssertion that $lim_{ntoinfty}lvert a_n{x_0}^nrvert=0$. This is anough to be able to apply the Weierstrass $M$-test to the series $displaystylesum_{n=0}^infty a_nx^n$ in $[-a,a]$. Don't forget to use the fact that $a<lvert x_0rvert$.

    But we cannot just pick $M_n = |a_n x_0^n|$, right? Because I think the sum $sum_{n=0}^infty |a_n{x_0}^n|$ may not converge.

Hint: $|a_nx^n|=left | a_nleft ( frac{x}{x_0} right )^{n}cdot x^{n}_0 right |=left | a_nx_0^{n}cdotleft ( frac{x}{x_0} right )^{n} right |, |x|le a<|x_0|$ and $sum a_nx_0^{n} $ converges so $|a_nx_0^{n}|to 0$ as $nto infty.$
