 We can get that, the series converges for $|x|<1$. We can get that, the series converges for $|x|<1$.
  
-If $l$ is an integer, then one of the series converges. If $l_1 + l_2 = 1$, then $l_1$ and $l_2$ gives the same solution. That is why we use $l(l+1)$ to label the different solutions. +If $l$ is an integer, then one of the series converges. If $l_1 + l_2 = -1$, then $l_1$ and $l_2$ gives the same solution. That is why we use $l(l+1)$ to label the different solutions.
