Find a formula for the sum of n terms. Use the formula to find the limit as n→∞
1. lim n→∞ [i=1, n]∑(2i/n)(2/n)
2. lim n→∞ [i=1, n]∑ (1/n^3)(i-1)^2
3. lim n→∞ [i=1, n]∑ (1+21/n)^2(2/n)
1. ∑(2i/n)(2/n) = (4/n^2)[1 + 2 + 3 + ....]
[i=1, n] ∑(2i/n)(2/n) = (4/n^2)[n(n + 1)/2] = 2(n + 1)/n = 2 + 2/n
As n --> ∞, 2/n --> 0, so
lim n --> ∞ [i=1, n]∑(2i/n)(2/n) = 2
2. [i=1, n]∑ (1/n^3)(i - 1)^2 = (1/n^3)[0 + 1 + 4 + 9 + ...]
= (1/n^3)[n(n - 1)(2n - 1)/6] = (2n^3 - 3n^2 + n)/6n^3
lim n --> ∞ [i=1, n]∑ (1/n^3)(i - 1)^2 = 1/3
3. Looks like possible misprint as no i within sigma term.
Also presume expression below was meant, rather than ()^[2(2/n)]
∑ [(1+2i/n)^2]*(2/n) = (2/n^3) ∑ [(n + 2i)^2]
Let T = [i=1, n] ∑ [(2i + n)^2] and expand using
(2i + n)^2 = 4i^2 + 4ni + n^2
Let A = 4[i=1, n] ∑i^2 = (8n^3 + 12n^2 + 4n)/6
Let B = 4n[i=1, n] ∑i = 4n(n^2 + n)/2 = (12n^3 + 12n^2)/6
Let C = [i=1, n] ∑n^2 = n^3 = 6n^3/6
T = (13n^3 +12n^2 + 2n)/3
Now multiply this by the (2/n^3) factor
∑ [(1+2i/n)^2]*(2/n) = 26/3 + 8/n + 4/3n^2
The limit as n --> ∞ of this is just 26/3
