did you get [1,7] as the interval of convergence?
the general term was kinda weird

It should be [1,7] but i lost a 3 in the demoninator and cancelled it out cuz im a dumbahh and got |x-4| <1 insyead but i did the rest of rhesteps right and said it converged on both endpoints so hopefully i get points for doing the necessary stels

(|x-4|)/3 < 1 , 1 and 7 both converges by alternating and comparison with p-series, therefore interval closed [1,7]
