Science:Math Exam Resources/Courses/MATH101/April 2012/Question 08 (a)/Hint 1

Both the Alternating Series Test (AST) and Alternating Series Esimation Theorem (ASET) DO NOT tell you the exact value of an alternating series. The key word evaluate implies that there should be a way to find the exact value of the series.

Does the series look like a familiar Maclaurin series of a function evaluated at a certain point?
