ZETA INFINITY?! How do you evaluate that?

Calculus Level 2

Assuming ζ \zeta is the Riemann Zeta Function, find the value of ζ ( ) \zeta (\infty) . BTW, you got nothing to lose so don't worry if you get it wrong.


The answer is 1.

The first term of the Zeta function is 1 1 . For all practical purposes, for x > > 1 x>>1 , the Zeta function is just ζ ( x ) = 1. \zeta (x)=1.

lim n 1 k n = 0 \displaystyle \lim_{n\to \infty}\dfrac{1}{k^n}=0 for all 1 < k N 1< k\in\mathbb{N} . Hence ζ ( ) = 1 \zeta(\infty)=\fbox 1 .
