We can rewrite the function in the power series form as follows:
- , where
In order to find the radius of convergence for a power series, we first apply the ratio test. So,
Then, the power series converges when , (i.e., ), while it diverges when , (i.e., ). Therefore, the radius of convergence is
Now, we consider the second part. From the first part, we know that the interval of convergence of is , and is in this interval, also is differentiable at and its derivative is the derivative of the power series term by term;
We now compute
Note that the last series is a geometric series with the first term and the common ratio
To sum up, the answers are .
