Chapter 8 - Sequences and Infinite Series - 8.6 Alternating Series - 8.6 Exercises - Page 657: 37

Answer

The value for $n$ is $n=5$ and the remainder is less than $10^{-4}$.

Work Step by Step

We will use Remainder Alternating series such as: $\text{Error}=|R_n| \leq a_{n+1}$ Here, we have $R_n \leq \dfrac{1}{4} (\dfrac{1}{4^n})(\dfrac{2}{4n+5}+\dfrac{2}{4n+6}+\dfrac{2}{4n+7}) \lt 10^{-4}$ and $ \dfrac{1}{4^n}(\dfrac{2}{4n+5}+\dfrac{2}{4n+6}+\dfrac{2}{4n+7}) \lt 4 \times 10^{-4}$ or, $n \gt 4.6$ This implies that the value for $n$ is $n=5$ and the remainder is less than $10^{-4}$.
