The blue dots are partial sums of the series. \ \

\

Sum of the series correct to four decimal places is \"\". \ \

\"\" \ \

\

By the Alternating Series estimation theorem: \ \

\

Here  (i)  \"\", and (ii) \"\", then \"\". \ \

\

Find the sum correct to four decimal places. \ \

Thus, \"\".

\

Fromthe table \"\".

\

Calculate the sum upto six partial terms.
