Real Analysis Extrema problem (solved)
The problem as it is listed in the book:
And this is my attempt at working the problem. My idea was to find the derivative of the sum and set that equal to zero to identify an extrema and then test if it is the minimum. However, I end up with a value for x that depends on n. Also the problem doesn't define a except that it is made up of real numbers, which could be any real numbers.
