Question
(a) Show that the series $\Sigma_{n=1}^{\infty}(\ln n)^{2} / n^{2}$ is convergent.(b) Find an upper bound for the error in the approximation $s \approx s_{n}$(c) What is the smallest value of $n$ such that this upper bound is less than 0.05$?$(d) Find $s_{n}$ for this value of $n .$
Step 1
We can see that the function $f(x) = (\ln x)^{2} / x^{2}$ is continuous and positive for $x > 1$ and it is decreasing for $x > e$. Therefore, we can apply the integral test to determine the convergence of the series. Show more…
