Also, it is not necessary that f(x) be always decreasing. What is important is that f(x) be ultimately decreasing, that is, decreasing for larger than some number N.

Integral Test just test if convergent or divergent. But if it is convergent what is the sum??
REMARK:We should not infer from the Integral Test that the sum of the series is equal tothe value of the integral. In fact,

1)The harmonic series diverges, but very slowly.
the sum of the first million terms is less than 15the sum of the first billion terms is less than 22
2) If we delete from the harmonic series all terms having the digit 9 in the denominator. The resulting series is convergent.
