Question
**Using Power Series for Integral Approximation**

In this example, we aim to approximate the value of the given integral using a power series, ensuring that the error is less than 0.0001. The integral is defined as follows:

\[
\int_{0}^{1} e^{-x^8} \, dx
\]

### Step-by-Step Solution:

Given:

\[
e^{-x^8} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-x^8)^n}{n!}
\]

Using this power series expansion and term-by-term integration, the integral becomes:

\[
\int_{0}^{1} e^{-x^8} \, dx \approx \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \int_{0}^{1} \frac{(-x^8)^n}{n!}\, dx
\]

### Diagram Explanation:
Unfortunately, in the provided image, there are certain boxes indicating missing steps or results, which will need to be filled in as follows:

1. **Power Series Expansion**:
   \[
   e^{-x^8} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n x^{8n}}{n!}
   \]
   
2. **Integral Transformation Using Power Series**:
   \[
   \int_{0}^{1} e^{-x^8} \, dx \approx \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \int_{0}^{1} \frac{(-1)^n x^{8n}}{n!}\, dx
   \]

The term-by-term integration gives:
\[
\int_{0}^{1} \frac{(-1)^n x^{8n}}{n!} \, dx = \frac{(-1)^n}{n!} \int_{0}^{1} x^{8n} \, dx
\]

3. **Integration of Each Term**:
   \[
   \int_{0}^{1} x^{8n} \, dx = \frac{1}{8n+1}
   \]

Hence, the integral can be approximated by summing the series:
\[
\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n!(8n+1)}
\]

To ensure the error is within the desired tolerance of 0.
