Answer

See proof

Work Step by Step

Series: 1+$\frac{1}{3^{4}}$ + $\frac{1}{5^{4}}$+$\frac{1}{7^{4}}$+ ...... is equivalent to $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n-1)^{4}}$ which is equal to $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(n)^{4}} - \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n)^{4}}$ =$\sum_{n=1}^{ \infty} \frac{1}{(n)^{4}}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{4}\cdot n^{4}}$ = $\frac{\pi^{4}}{90}$ - $\frac{\pi^{4}}{2^{4}\cdot 90}$ =$\frac{\pi^{4}}{96}$
