  • This calculus 2 video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the alternate series estimation theorem also known as the alternate series remainder. It explains how to estimate the sum of the infinite series correct to three decimals places by calculating the number of terms needed by using the remainder estimate theorem.

      OCT ur the best, but you should re-record this video since it's simply causing too much confusion with everyone. More time is spent scrolling to the comments and getting confused there too (since some are arguing against the errors). It's almost easier to just look for another video in this case.

    The signs should have flipped.
    Many people have noticed this, and the general question may be.
    How did OCT still get the correct answer despite this mistake, and what exactly happened?
    The issue appears to be, the value of the remainder was plugged into the inequality, as if Rn = 0.0001
    Remember it was not originally, the remainder naturally needs to be LESS than 0.0001 to be accurate to four decimal places.
    So the inequality should have been set out with Rn

  • @pto314
    @pto314 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    You have incorrect calculations in 2 steps. First, a(n+1) must be less than 0.001. Second, when you raise both sides to the negative 1 power, or taking the reciprocal of both sides, you must invert the inequality sign. You missed the inequality sign twice, so your answer is correct, but that doesn't make your argument valid.

      @younghoonyoungseo1405 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Could you please explain why a(n+1) must be less than 0.001? Since the a(n+1) is the first term we leave off the summation (which, therefore, has the greatest absolute value of remaining left-off terms), doesn't make sense that our error term (0.001) is less than or equal to a(n+1)? However, I do agree with your second point, so the provided answer should have the opposite sign. 31 >= n

      In my experience, they will cook the numbers. On his last example he does .0001 but realistically you will have to do .001 so 1/.001 = 1000 and the cube root of 1000 is 10= n+1 so then n=9 and then you can do nine sums because 1/1= 1 1/2 squared = 1/4 and so on nine times. Add them all up in your head and you wont have to simplify! Best of luck!

    I am confused, when trying to prove 1/n^2 is convergent, you cannot perform divergence test.. the divergence test only confirms if it is divergent if it is not equal to 0 and is inconclusive otherwise. I'm not sure how that can be applied in this problem unless someone wants to inform me on something I'm missing?

      ​@@zaidalsalihi9301 the alternating series test states: the FIRST rule that the series An must pass is "the divergence test of An must equal 0" even tho when the divergence test is 0 it is inconclusive the alternating series test dosent care that its inconclusive it just wants the divergence test equal to 0 :) to be able to proceed. Furthermore even tho it is inconclusive that just means it CAN diverge OR it CAN converge either or but if we get any other answer other then 0 we automatically know it diverges with no chance of convergence. hope this made sense

      To do the math without a calculator, convert the decimal to a fraction. For example, rewrite .00005 as 5/100,000 which simplifies to 1/20,000. Much easier to deal with than decimals.
