sum Sn. (b) Use (a) to determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. 8 (5) Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide specific examples of ak and Σb for k=1 which the statement is false. Σ (a) If 5 am is a series such that ak a k=1 1 k² < ak for all k, then (d) If ak k=1 (b) If ak is a series such that 0 < a

2. Alternating series: a. Consider the series 4 – + -+ 4 - · · . This is a convergent series by the alternating series test. Using an appropriate error estimate, determine the partial sum that will approximate the infinite sum with error less than 0.0001. (-1)* 2 (2k+1)3k-0.5 · b. Another series that converges to the exact same value as the series in part (a) is > -o Using an appropriate error estimate, determine the partial sum that will approximate the infinite sum with error less than 0.0001. C. Choose either of the above two series and approximate it with error less than 0.0001. What famous number do these two converge to?
