It asks "use remainder estimate for integral test" to find series accurate to 3 dec?
It says "Use the Remainder Estimate for the Integral Test to find the sum of the following series to three decimal places of accuracy."
[itex]\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}[/itex] [itex]\frac{1}{n^{3}}[/itex]
OK, so my question is as follows. If it says "to 3 decimal places of accuracy," what am I finding exactly? Am I finding the sum for error<0.001? or is it error<0.0005? I ask this because an error of 0.0005 could change the round and change the third decimal place.
As for the rest of the question, I know how to do it.
Thanks!
