Question
(a) Find the partial sum of the series
. Estimate the error in using
as an approximation to the sum of the series.
(b) Use (3) with to give an improved estimate of the sum.
(c) Compare your estimate in part (b) with the exact value given in Exercise 37 .
(d) Find a value of so that
is within
of the sum.
Solution
The first step in solving 11.3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Find the partial sum of the series . Estimate the error in using as an approximation to the sum of the series.(b) Use (3) with to give an improved estimate of the sum.(c) Compare your estimate in part (b) with the exact value given in Exercise 37 .(d) Find a value of so that is within of the sum.
From the textbook chapter The Integral Test and Estimates of Sums you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
