Expert Solution
Step 1

Let s be the sum of the infinite series, sn be a partial sum of n terms, and Rn be the remainder terms. Then,

s=sn+Rn=i=0nfi+j=n+1fj

Step 2

If the error must be less than 0.000 001, then the remainder sum must be less than 0.000 001. We can estimate the remainder using integral.

x2n2n!dx=x2n+12n+1×2n!=x2n+12n+1!0.000 001

The angle is given in degrees. Convert it to radians.

5°=5×π180=π36

Substitute in the inequality above.

π362n+12n+1!0.000 001

We must find an n for which the above inequality is true.

 

Use trial-and-error method:

n=0π3611!0.0872>0.000 001n=1π3633!0.0011>0.000 001n=2π3655!0.000 000 040.000 001

Therefore, n = 2 is the smallest value of n for which the approximation is correct to 0.000 001.
