Math 222 - Week 9 - Worksheet 2

Topics: Section 11.5 Alternating Series

Instructions: Listen to your TA’s instructions. There are substantially more problems on this worksheet than we expect
to be done in discussion, and your TA might not have you do problems in order. The worksheets are intentionally longer
than will be covered in discussion in order to give students additional practice problems they may use to study. Do not
worry if you do not finish the worksheet :).
