Converge properties of Taylor Series expansion of complex function

Question

I need to find the convergence properties of the Taylor Expansion of

$$f(z)=\frac{z}{z-1}$$

---

I found the Taylor Series:

$$\sum_{j=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{j+1}(z-i)^{j-1}}{(i-1)^j}$$

Then I used the "ratio test" to find out when it converges:

$$\lim_{j\to\infty}\left| \frac{\frac{(-1)^{j+2}(z-i)^{j}}{(i-1)^{j+1}}}{\frac{(-1)^{j+1}(z-i)^{j-1}}{(i-1)^j}} \right| = \left| \frac{(-1)(z-i)}{(i-1)} \right| < 1$$

So the series converges when $|z|<1$.

However wolfalpha disagrees.

And I cannot spot my error?!

EDIT:

Forgot to mention: Expanding at $z=i$ and fixed typo.

EDIT: Wolframalpha says the expansion converges when $\sqrt{2}|z-i|<2$.

Answer 1

You have done this right. You need to find the $z$ for which $\left|\frac{z-i}{i-1}\right|<1$. Now $|i-1|=\sqrt{2}$ so this is the same as

$|z-i|<\sqrt{2}$.

Since $\sqrt{2}=2/\sqrt{2}$ this is the same as woflram's answer.
