Need help with the rest of this problem

Test the series for convergence or divergence. If the series is convergent, use the Alternating Series
Estimation Theorem to determine how many terms we need to add in order to find the sum with an error less
than 0.0001?

n = 1
Step 1
The terms of the series ) decrease as n → o and
ngn

n+ o ngn
n = 1
Step 2

is convergent
convergent
Therefore, by the Alternating Series Test,
ngn
n = 1
Step 3

We know that the remainder Rn will satisfy |Rnl s bn + 1 =
(n + 1)9n + 1'
We must make n large enough so that this is less than 0.0001.
Rounding to five decimal places, we have b2 =
