So originally I needed to turn the function $f(x)=\frac{3}{2-x}$ into a power series. I think I did this successfully and got $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{3x^{n}}{2^{n+1}} $$ Now I'm struggling to find the radius of convergence. I set up a form of the ratio test to find it: $$\lim_{n\to \infty}|\frac{\frac{3x^{n+1}}{2^{n+2}}}{\frac{3x^{n}}{2^{n+1}}}|$$ and got $|\frac{x}{2}|$. I'm not sure what this means in terms of the radius of convergence

Find the radius of convergence for this power series

Why make things mre comples than they are? You obtained this power series from the factorisation $$\frac3{2-x}=\frac32\,\frac1{1-\cfrac x2},$$ and using the power series expansion of $ \dfrac1{1-u}$ with $u=\dfrac x2$, so the radius of convergence is defined by $$\biggl|\frac x2\biggr|<1\iff |x|<2.$$
