Given that
n=1(1)n+1n5
We need use theorem alternating series to determine the number of terms requires to approximate the sum of the series with an error of less than 0.001.
Given series is alternate series with an=1n5
We know that
|Rn|aN+1=1(N+1)5
for an error less than 0.001N must satisfy the inequality.
1(N+1)5<0.001
10.001<(N+1)51000<(N+1)5 taking 15 root on both sides
100015
3.98

2.98
So we will need at least 4 terms to get an error less than 0.001
