For each series in Exercises 44–47, 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,R10.

(d) Use your answers from parts (b) and (c) to find an interval containing the sum of the series.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information is:

∑k=1∞1k2

02

Part (a) Step 1. Examining nature of given function: 

Considerthefunctionf(x)=1x2.Thefunctionf(x)=1x2iscontinuous,decreasing,withpositiveterms.Thereforealltheconditionsofintegraltestarefulfilled.So,integraltestisapplicable.

Prove Theorem 7.31. That is, show that if a function a is continuous, positive, and decreasing, and if the improper integral ∫1∞a(x)dxconverges, then the nth remainder, Rn, for the series∑k=1∞a(k) is bounded by0≤Rn=∑k=n+1∞a(k)≤∫n∞a(x)dx

Leila finds that there are more factors affecting the number of salmon that return to Redfish Lake than the dams: There are good years and bad years. These happen at random, but they are more or less cyclical, so she models the number of fish qkreturning each year as qk+1=(0.14(−1)k+0.36)(qk+h), where h is the number of fish whose spawn she releases from the hatchery annually.

(a) Show that the sustained number of fish returning in even-numbered years approach approximately qe=3h∑k=1∞0.11k.

(Hint: Make a new recurrence by using two steps of the one given.)

(b) Show that the sustained number of fish returning in odd-numbered years approaches approximately qo=6111h∑k=1∞0.11k.

(c) How should Leila choose h, the number of hatchery fish to breed in order to hold the minimum number of fish returning in each run near some constant P?
