Finding the accuracy of an approximated potential

[Electroguru]

Homework Statement

Charges +/- q separated by a distance d make a dipole with dipole moment qd. For large r the potential approaches qdcosθ/(4πε₀r²). For θ=0, how large must r be so that the asymptotic function is accurate to 1%?

Homework Equations

Exact V= q₁/(4πε₀r) + q₂ /(4πε₀r)
Approximate V= qdcosθ/(4πε₀r²)

The Attempt at a Solution

I understand that the following statement must be true:
Vexact - Vapproximate ≤ 1.0%(Vexact)

q₁/(4πε₀r) + q₂ /(4πε₀(r-d)) - qdcosθ/(4πε₀r²) ≤ 1.0 %.

If we cancel all like constants;
1/r - 1/(r-d) - d/r²) ≤ 1.0 %

I do not understand where to go from here, or even if my approach towards this is correct.

Thank you in advance to all those who are reading.

I think they meant for you to have the two charges at +d/2 and -d/2. When you get the two fractions, you should reduce them to a common denominator. Then, you might get an idea what to do next.
