It can be reasoned that the radius of convergence is r = 1/2 . This because when |x | < 1/2,
one gets a harmonic series which converges by the ratio test. When | x | > 1/2 the ratio test shows non convergence.
In the case of x = 1/2 , it is the standard infinite harmonic series which does not converge.
In the case of x = -1/2, it is the alternating sign harmonic series which is conditionally convergent.
So when approaching x = -1/2 from above, the series will converge.
Thus the interval of convergence is [ - 1/2 , 1/2 )
