Solve for L Alternations Series Estimation 11.5 • Check that a function passes the alternating series test • Steps To Find Error o Determine an o |error|=an ! Solve for n Tricks/Tips: • If a series contains (-­‐1)^n , check for convergence using alternating series test • If a series contains both x and n, check for convergence using ratio tests • If a series contains a function to the nth power, check for convergence using root tests • A harmonic series is always divergent ...
