### Section 8.4: Exercises

**1. (a)** What is an alternating series?  
(b) Under what conditions does an alternating series converge?  
(c) If these conditions are satisfied, what can you say about the remainder after n terms?

**2.** What can you say about the series \( \sum a_n \) in each of the following cases?

(a) \( \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = 8 \)  
(b) \( \lim_{n \to \infty} \left| \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right| = 0.8 \)  
(c) \( \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = 1 \)

**3-8.** Test the series for convergence or divergence.

3. \( 4 - \frac{4}{8} + \frac{4}{9} - \frac{4}{10} + \frac{4}{11} - \cdots \)

4. \( 4 + \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{9} - \frac{11}{8} + \cdots \)

5. \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{2n+1} \)

6. \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac{n}{\sqrt{n^3 + 2}} \)

7. \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n (3n - 1)}{2n + 1} \)

8. \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right) \)

**9-12.** Show that the series is convergent. How many terms of the series do we need to add in order to find the sum to the indicated accuracy?

---

These exercises focus on alternating series, convergence tests, and series evaluation. They require an understanding of limit behaviors, ratio tests, and conditions for convergence.
