Provide a more general statement of the integral test in which the function f is continuous and eventually positive, and decreasing. Explain why your statement is valid.
In Exercises 48鈥51 find all values of p so that the series converges.
Let f(x) be a function that is continuous, positive, and decreasing on the interval such that , What can the integral tells us about the series ?
Explain how you could adapt the integral test to analyze a series in which the function is continuous, negative, and increasing.
For each series in Exercises 44鈥47, do each of the following:
(a) Use the integral test to show that the series converges.
(b) Use the 10th term in the sequence of partial sums to approximate the sum of the series.
(c) Use Theorem 7.31 to find a bound on the tenth remainder, .
(d) Use your answers from parts (b) and (c) to find an interval containing the sum of the series.
(e) Find the smallest value of n so that localid="1649224052075" .
