Exercise 36 will show how a partial sum can be used to obtain upper and lower bounds on the sum of a series when the hypotheses of the integral test are satisfied. This result will be needed in Exercises 37-40.
We showed in Section 9.3 that the harmonic series
(a) Use inequality (2) to show that for
(b) Use the inequalities in part (a) to find upper and lower bounds on the sum of the first million terms in the series.
(c) Show that the sum of the first billion terms in the series is less than 22.
(d) Find a value of

- Hello, Can someone show to solve problem 4 using the root test? Thank you!arrow_forwardI understand how to find the nth partial sum for n=2. But the second part of finding the upper bound for the error isn't working out for me. Can you explain clearly how to do that? I thought I just took n=2+1 or n=3 and then used that value for k, but the system says that's not the right answer.arrow_forward#8: If the sum s of the series 3(-1)" (n+2) n=0 is approximated by 3(-1)" Sm (n+2) find the smallest possible m such that the alternating series error estimate says s-sm| < 0.03. m #8:arrow_forward
