Prove theorem 14.3. Hint: Group the terms in the error as role="math" localid="1657423688910" (an+1+an+2)+(an+3+an+4)+⋯to show that the error has the same sign as role="math" localid="1657423950271" an+1.Then group them asrole="math" localid="1657423791335" an+1+(an+2+an+3)+(an+4+an+5)+⋯to show that the error has magnitude less than|an+1|.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The alternating sequence converges.

S-a1+a2+…+an≤an+1

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The Properties of alternating sequence.

S=∑n=0∞anan+1<anlimn→∞an=0

02

Definition of Alternating series

A mathematical series in which the terms are alternately positive and negative is known as an alternating series.

03

Solve for convergence of given series    

Use properties mentioned below:

S=∑n=0∞anan+1<anlimn→∞an=0

Solve left hand side of the theorem.

S-a1+a2+…+an=an+1+an+2+an+3+an+4⋯=an+1+an+2+an+3+an+4+…an+1S-a1+a2+…+an=an+1+an+2+an+3+an+4+an+5+…S-a1+a2+…+an≤an+1

Hence, the alternating sequence converges.

S-a1+a2+…+an≤an+1
