So I know that:

But I'm confused about the concept of this problem.
 
I would start by computing S-SN.What are confused about? Do you know at bN+1means? You need to tell us something so we know where to start helping you. Please post back.
 
Yes, I'm not sure what bN+1 means.
So I know that the formula for calculating SN is,

But what would the bounds in this problem be?
 
Isn't SN what you get when you replace infinity with N in the given summation?
 
Ok, so you have to solve for N, but I'm confused about what values I should plug into the error(SN) formula? Because a and b are the bounds, and you find K using the bounds? Unless I don't have to use that formula?
