(a) Use the sum of the first 10 terms to estimate the sum of the series $\Sigma_{n-1}^{\infty} 1 / n^{2} .$ How good is this estimate? (b) Improve this estimate using ( 3) with $n=10$. (c) Compare your estimate in part (b) with the exact value given in Exercise 34 . (d) Find a value of $n$ that will ensure that the error in the approximation $s \approx s_{n}$ is less than $0.001 .$

Step 1
54976773117$. This is an estimate of the sum of the series. The error in this estimate is the difference between the actual sum of the series and the estimate, which we don't know without knowing the actual sum of the series. Show more…
