(a) Wild guess:

Recall the power series

With some manipulation, we can write

Take the derivative and we get

so we have

By the ratio test, this series converges if

or , so that the radius of convergence is .

(b). If we take the second derivative, we get

Apply the ratio test again and we get .

(c) Multiply the previous series by and we get

The ratio test yet again tells us .

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
