Question

3.5 The infinite series \(f(n) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{1}{i^4}\) converges on a value of \(f(n) = \frac{\pi^4}{90}\) as n approaches infinity. Write a program in single precision to calculate f(n) for n = 10,000 by computing the sum from i = 1 to 10,000. Then repeat the calcu- lation but in reverse order—that is, from i = 10,000 to 1 using incre- ments of ?1. In each case, compute the true percent relative error. Explain the results.

Step 1

First, we need to calculate the sum of the infinite series f(n) = Tr4/90 as n approaches infinity. The formula for the sum of an infinite series is given by: Sum = lim(n->∞) (Tr4/90) Show more…
