Sec 11.5: ALTERNATING SERIES The convergence tests that we have looked at so far apply only to series with positive terms. In this section and the next we learn how to deal with series whose terms are not necessarily positive. Of particular importance are alternating series, whose terms alternate in sign. An alternating series

Sec 11.5: ALTERNATING SERIES THEOREM: (ALTERNATING SERIES ESTIMATION THEOREM) Example: Find the sum of the series correct to three decimal places.

Sec 11.5: ALTERNATING SERIES Example: Find the sum of the series correct to three decimal places.

Sec 11.5: ALTERNATING SERIES THEOREM: (ALTERNATING SERIES ESTIMATION THEOREM) REMARK: The rule that the error is smaller than the first neglected term is, in general, valid only for alternating series that satisfy the conditions of the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem. The rule does not apply to other types of series.
