Using the integral test, how do you show whether #sum 1/n^3# diverges or converges from n=1 to infinity?

Check that
Explanation:
If your grader or teacher won't let you claim that it is obvious that
point out that for
# = lim_(brarroo) (-1/(2x^2)]_1^b)#
# = lim_(brarroo) (-1/(2b^2) + 1/2)#
# = 1/2#
The integral converges, therefore the series converges. (We have not found what the series converges to.)
