Question: a ) Use the Integral Test to show that n = 1 1 / n 4 converges. ( b ) Find the 1 0 th

a) Use the Integral Test to show that
n=1
1/n4 converges.
(b) Find the 10th partial sum, s10, of the series
n=1
1/n4.
(c) According to the Remainder Estimate for the Integral Test, we know that
n+1
1
x4 dx s sn
n
1
x4 dx,(1)
where s is the sum of
n=1
1/n4 and sn is the nth partial sum of
n=1
1/n4. Use inequality
(1) and s10 from part (b) to find an upper and lower bound for s.
(d) Use the Remainder Estimate for the Integral Test to find a value of n so that sn is within
0.00001 of the sum.
