How do I find the radius of convergence for this power series? I stumbled on this power series and was wondering how could I evaluate the interval of convergence:
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }(-1)^nx^{3n}\frac{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdot ...\cdot (3n-2)}{n!\cdot 3^{n}}$$
I first tried using the ratio test to determine the $x$ interval for which it's convergent, but ran into problems when I couldn't express the numerator in terms of a factorial or some kind of closed expression:
$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty }\frac{x^{3(n+1)}\cdot \frac{2\cdot 5\cdot 8\cdot ...\cdot (3n-1)}{(n+1)!\cdot 3^{n+1}}}{x^{3n}\cdot \frac{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdot ...\cdot (3n-2)}{n!\cdot 3^{n}}}$$
$$=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty }\frac{x^{3n}\cdot x^{3}\cdot \frac{2\cdot 5\cdot 8\cdot ...\cdot (3n-1)}{(n+1)\cdot n!\cdot 3^{n}\cdot 3}}{x^{3n}\cdot \frac{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdot ...\cdot (3n-2)}{n!\cdot 3^{n}}}$$
$$=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty }\frac{ x^{3}\cdot \frac{2\cdot 5\cdot 8\cdot ...\cdot (3n-1)}{(n+1)\cdot 3}}{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdot ...\cdot (3n-2)}$$
$$=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty }{ x^{3}\cdot \frac{2\cdot 5\cdot 8\cdot ...\cdot (3n-1)}{(n+1)\cdot 3}}\cdot\frac{1}{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdot ...\cdot (3n-2)}$$
The best idea I could come up with was trying to write the numerator of the first fraction as $\frac{(3n!)}{3^{n}\cdot{n!}\cdot{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdot ...\cdot (3n-2)}}$ but that didn't get rid of the problem, and I'm not even sure if it's correct. Any help would be appreciated :)

You misunderstood the notation when you wrote down the "$n+1$" term.  The ratio should be
$$x^{3(n+1)}\frac{1\cdot4\cdot7\cdots(3n-2)\cdot(3(n+1)-2)}{(n+1)!\, 3^{n+1}}
  \bigg/x^{3n} \frac{1\cdot 4\cdot 7\cdots (3n-2)}{n!\,3^{n}}$$
which simplifies to
$$\frac{(3n+1)x^3}{3(n+1)}\ ,$$
and I think you will find it easy enough from here.
