I'll give this a shot.
The first thing you do is apply the ratio test to this series:
limn→∞ |(n+1+2i)zn+1 / (n+2i)z|.
If this limit is > 1, it diverges; if it's < 1, it converges. Simplify:
limn→∞ |(n+1+2i)/(n+2i)| |z|
You can put the first term in the standard complex format, but for now it should be obvious that that limit = 1, so you are left with
|z| < 1 for convergence.
That is, the radius of convergence is 1.
