7. In this question you must show detailed reasoning. A sequence \(u _ { 1 } , u _ { 2 } , u _ { 3 } \ldots\) is defined by \(u _ { n } = 25 \times 0.6 ^ { n }\).
Use an algebraic method to find the smallest value of \(N\) such that \(\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } u _ { n } - \sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { N } u _ { n } < 10 ^ { - 4 }\).
