Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers the Alternating Series Error Bound Theorem for AP Calculus BC. It explains how to estimate the accuracy of a partial sum for a convergent alternating series using the error bound. Examples demonstrate calculating the error bound and using it to estimate the true value of an infinite series. Practice problems and solutions reinforce the concept.
