Write the definite integral for the summation: the limit as n goes to infinity of the summation from k equals 1 to n of the product of the square of the quantity 1 plus k over n squared and 1 over n.

the integral from x equals 0 to 1 of x squared, dx
the integral from x equals 1 to 2 of the quantity x plus 1 squared, dx
the integral from x equals 1 to 2 of x squared, dx
the integral from x equals 2 to 1 of x squared, dx

Sounds like you have


\displaystyle\lim_(n\to\infty)\sum_(k=1)^n\left(1+\frac kn\right)^2\frac1n

which translates to the sum of the areas of
n rectangles with dimensions
\left(1+\frac kn\right)^2 (height) and
\frac1n (width). This is the right-endpoint Riemann sum for approximating the area under
x^2 over the interval [1, 2].

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

We are given that


\lim_(n\rightarrow\infty)\sum_(k=1)^(n)(1+(k)/(n))^2* (1)/(n)

We have to find the definite integral for the given summation.

We know that


\lim_(n\rightarrow \infty)\sum_(k=a)^(n)f(a+k(b-a)/(n))((b-a)/(n)=\int_(a)^(b)f(x)dx

Using the formula

a=1


(b-a)/(n)=(b-1)/(n)


(b-1)/(n)=(1)/(n)


b-1=1


b=1+1=2


\lim_(n\rightarrow\infty)\sum_(k=1)^(n)(1+(k)/(n))^2* (1)/(n)=\int_(1)^(2)x^2 dx

Option C is true.
