The alternating series test for convergence lets us say whether an alternating series is converging or diverging. When we use the alternating series test, we need to make sure that we separate the series a_n from the (-1)^n part that makes it alternating.
Read MoreThe alternating series estimation theorem gives us a way to approximate the sum of an alternating series with a remainder or error that we can calculate. To use the theorem, the alternating series must follow two rules.
