Explain why the Integral Test applies to determine the convergence or divergence of the series. Show that the series is convergent. Suppose that the 1000' partial sum (^!1e6) of the series is used to approximate the sum (.9) of the series. What is the maximum error involved in this approximation? Find a lower and an upper bound for S in Part (c). Suppose it is desired that the maximum error of approximating ,S is at most 0.001. At least how many terms ofthe series should be considered to achieve this?
