$sum_k geq 0 fracz^kz^k+1$ on the domain $overlineD[0, r]$, where $0 leq r < 1$



I'm honestly not sure how to do this. My text mentions the Weierstrass M-test but the example they gave after stating it uses a completely different method (looks like a repeat of a previous example) and looks nothing like the M-test.

          From the notation and complex analysis tag I would guess we should assume $zin mathbb C,|z|le r.$ For $k>0,$ we can then say $|1+z^k|ge 1-|z^k| = 1-|z|^k ge 1- |z| ge 1-r.$ Thus



          $$left |fracz^k1+z^kright | = fracz^k le fracr^k1-r.$$



          Since $sum_k=1^infty r^k/(1-r) < 1/(1-r)^2,$ we have uniform convergence in $|z|le r$ by Weierstrass M.

          For $|z|in [0,r]$, with $0le r<1$, we have



          $$left|fracz^k1+z^kright|le fracr^k1-r$$



          and $sum_k=0^infty r^k=frac11-r<infty$

            @BCLC That solution is fine. But note that for $0le r<1$, $r^k<r$ so that $fracr^k1-r^kle fracr^k1-r$.
