Theorem 4.14 (Root Test).  Suppose that the series  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_302.gif],  has  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_303.gif]   (i.e.  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_304.gif]).  
Then the series is absolutely convergent if  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_305.gif]  and divergent if  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_306.gif].  

Proof.

Proof of Theorem 4.14 is in the book.
