Show that if the power series ∑n=0∞anzn(z∈C)\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} z^{n}(z \in \mathbb{C}) converges for some fixed z=z0z=z_{0}, then it converges absolutely for every zz satisfying ∣z∣<∣z0∣|z|<\left|z_{0}\right|.

Define the radius of convergence of a power series.

Give an example of v∈Cv \in \mathbb{C} and an example of w∈Cw \in \mathbb{C} such that ∣v∣=∣w∣=1,∑n=1∞vnn|v|=|w|=1, \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{v^{n}}{n} converges and ∑n=1∞wnn\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{w^{n}}{n} diverges. [You may assume results about standard series without proof.] Use this to find the radius of convergence of the power series ∑n=1∞znn\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{z^{n}}{n}.
