Consider the series



$$sum_{n=1}^infty frac{(-1)^n}{n+x}$$



Find all $x in mathbb{R}$ at which the series converges. Converges absolutely. Find all intervals of $mathbb{R}$ where the series defining $f$ converges uniformly, and all intervals of $mathbb{R}$ on which $f$ is continuous



I'm very confused about how to think about this

  • you just need to know the definitions of conditional convergence, absolute convergence, uniform convergence and apply them to your series, it is not so complicate

  • Do you know the conditions which guarantee the convergence of an alternating series?

  • @JohnWaylandBales it's not quite so simple if I'm not mistaken, at least for $x<0$.

  • @qbert My question was intended to gauge just how confused the OP is. The first two should be easy aside from the negative integers.

  • @JohnWaylandBales fair enough and definitely true about the first two and uniform convergence on the nonegatives
