Logging The Summation!!

Calculus Level 5

Evaluate to 4 decimal places: Note if your answer comes in a natural logarithm give the answer as the logarithm with base 10;e.g if your answer is ln ( 3 / 4 ) \ln(3/4) then give log ( 3 / 4 ) \log(3/4) as answer


The answer is 0.6020.

A Quick Solution: ( r n ) ( r 2 + n 2 + n r ) ( log r log n ) n 4 = r 3 n 3 n 4 log ( r n ) \dfrac { (r-n)({ r }^{ 2 }+{ n }^{ 2 }+nr) }{ (\log { r } -\log { n){ n }^{ 4 } } } =\dfrac { { r }^{ 3 }-{ n }^{ 3 } }{ { n }^{ 4 }\log { (\frac { r }{ n } ) } } = r 3 n 3 1 log r n 1 n =\dfrac { \frac { { r }^{ 3 } }{ { n }^{ 3 } } -1 }{ \log { \frac { r }{ n } } } \frac { 1 }{ n }

Now using Riemann Sums: = = 0 1 x 3 1 log x d x \displaystyle \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ \frac { { x }^{ 3 }-1 }{ \log { x } } dx\quad }

This is a standard integral which can be solved by differentiating through the integral, the answer comes out to be: ln ( 4 ) \ln(4) According to the condition given the answer to be submitted is: log 4 0.6020 \log { 4 } \approx 0.6020
