Find the sum of the series [infinity] (−1)n n! n = 0 correct to three decimal places. SOLUTION We first observe that the series

is convergent by the Alternating Series Test because (i) 1 (n + 1)! = 1 n!(n + 1) 1 n! (ii) 0 < 1 n! ≤ 1 n → 1 so 1 n! → 1 as n → [infinity]. To get a feel for how many terms we need to use in our approximation, let's write out the first few terms of the series: s = 1 0! − 1 1! + 1 2! − 1 3! + 1 4! − 1 5! + 1 6! − 1 7! + ⋯ = 1 − 1 + 1 2 − 1 6 + 1 24 − 1 120 + 1 − 1 5040 + ⋯ Notice that b7 = 1 5040 < 1 5000 = and s6 = 1 − 1 + 1 2 − 1 6 + 1 24 − 1 120 + 1 720 ≈ (rounded to six decimal places). By the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem we know that |s − s6| ≤ b7 ≤ 0.0002. This error of less than 0.0002 does not affect the third decimal place, so we have s ≈ 0.368 correct to three decimal places.

Answer:

In this case, if you sum the first seven terms of your sum, you get 0.0002, that means that your error is less than 0.00002 , in other words, if you sum 6 terms of your sum, 4 terms of your result are correct, (because the error is less than 0.00002).

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember what the alternating series theorem says, basically it states that for a convergent alternating series .

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n  \, b_n

The error of the series can be estimated as follows

R_n = |s-s_n| < b_{n+1}

The meaning of the theorem is that   b_{n+1}  is an upper bound of the n-error of your sum.

In this case, if you sum the first seven terms of your sum, you get 0.0002, that means that your error is less than 0.00002 , in other words, if you sum 6 terms of your sum, 4 terms of your result are correct, (because the error is less than 0.00002).

What is the perimeter of this figure?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

D) 44 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles trapezoids have equal legs, which is why they are called isosceles.

Squares have equal side lengths are around, so you know that the missing side lengths to this figure are 5 in, 10 in, and 10 inches.

Add all of the given values together.

  • 5 in + 4 in + 10 in = 19

Add all of the "unknown" values together.

  • 5 in + 10 in + 10 in = 25

Add these two values together.

  • 19 in + 25 in = 44 inches

This answer corresponds to answer choice D.
