Strange infinite series problem using integral test.

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating the infinite series \(\Sigma\frac{1}{n \ln n \ln \ln n}\) from \(n=27\) to \(n=10^{100,000}\) and estimating its value.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to use the integral test for convergence by performing a substitution, leading to an integral involving the natural logarithm. Some participants question the structure of the denominator in the summation.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the integral approach and clarifying the components of the series. There is no explicit consensus yet, but the dialogue is focused on refining the understanding of the problem.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of the problem statement, specifically the limits of the summation and the nature of the series being evaluated.

Homework Statement


I need to show that

\Sigma\frac{1}{nlnnlnlnn}

from n=27 to n=10^(100,000)

is approximately equal to 8.1
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i did the u substitution, u =nlnn

and i get

\int\frac{1du}{u}

which just becomes [lnu]
which becomes: [ln(lnlnn)] evaluated from 27 to 10^100,000
 
is the denominator of your summation n*ln(n)*ln(ln(n))?
 
yea it is
