Question Number 96667 by Ar Brandon last updated on 03/Jun/20

Prove  that  Σ_(k=1) ^∞ (1/k^2 )=(π^2 /6)

Provethatk=11k2=π26

Σ_(k=1) ^∞ k^(−2) =𝛇(2)  from the relation of Riemann  zeta f^n  with Burnoulli number  (even).         B_(2n) =(−1)^(n−1) ((2(2n)!)/((2𝛑)^(2n) )).𝛇(2n).       put..n=1      then,B_2 =((2.2!)/(2.2.𝛑^2  )).𝛇(2)  we know B_2 =(1/6).now putting it  we get..𝛇(2)=(𝛑^2 /6)...

k=1k2=ζ(2)fromtherelationofRiemannzetafnwithBurnoullinumber(even).B2n=(1)n12(2n)!(2π)2n.ζ(2n).put..n=1then,B2=2.2!2.2.π2.ζ(2)weknowB2=16.nowputtingitweget..ζ(2)=π26...

sir what of    ζ(2n  +  1)   for  odd

sirwhatofζ(2n+1)forodd

This is not justified by this   formula because:     B_(2n+1) =0 where n∈N  only odd number B_1 =−(1/2) exist.        generel form of B_n :         B_n =−((n!)/((2𝛑i)^n ))[Σ_(m=1) ^∞ ((1/m^n )+(1/((−m)^n )))]

i′ve always Wanted to Get this proof..and here′s what i fell on.  Σ_(k=1) ^∞ (1/k^2 ) = (π^2 /6)  first let s = arcsin x   hence  ∫_0 ^(π/2)  s ds = (π^2 /8)  also ∫_0 ^1  ((arcsin x)/(√(1−x^2 ))) dx = (π^2 /8)  since  arc sin x = ∫_0 ^1 (1/((√(1−x^2 )) )) dx = x + (x^3 /(2 ×3))  + ((1 × 3 x^5 )/(2 ×5 ×5)) +...   substituting we get: ∫_0 ^1 ((dx/(√(1−x^2 ))) ∫(dx/(√(1−x^2 )))) = ∫_0 ^1 [x + (x^3 /6)((dx/(√(1−x^2 ))))+...]  realise that : ∫_0 ^1  (x^(2n+1) /(√(1−x^2 ))) dx = ((2n!!)/((2n + 1)!!)). since we get all odd powers,        (π^2 /8) = Σ_(k=1) ^∞ (1/((2n−1)^2 ))  if we define x = Σ_(k=1) ^∞ (1/k^2 )  dividing by 4 , we get the equation: x = (π^2 /6) = Σ_(k=1) ^∞ (1/k^2 )  please guys check.

sir, will this method get:   Σ_(k = 1) ^∞ (1/k^3 )

sir,willthismethodget:k=11k3
