MHB Find a formula for the Riemann sum and take the limit of the sum as n->infinite

Click For Summary
To find the Riemann sum for the function over the interval [1,5], divide the interval into n equal subintervals and use the right-hand endpoints for each subinterval. The limit of this sum as n approaches infinity will yield the area under the curve. Clarification is needed regarding "parts b and c," as they are not referenced in the initial problem description. Users are encouraged to show their work to facilitate more effective assistance. Providing details on progress will help in addressing specific questions related to the Riemann sum and its limit.

For the function given below find a formula for the Riemann sum obtained by dividing the interval [1,5] into n equal subintervals and using the right-hand endpoint for each c subscript k. Then take a limit of thissum as n-> infinite to calculate the area under the curve over [1,5].

Below you can see the problem. I was able to guess them correctly, so that I could perhaps try to work backwards to get it. Below is the problem. I found a. but i need to find parts b and c how do I do this?

Thanks,

Hi tornado711 and welcome to MHB!

It's not clear (at least to me) what you mean by "parts b and c". I don't see a reference to them anywhere on the attached image. Also, we ask (and our forum rules state) that users show their work, or any ideas on where to begin, when posting a problem. This eliminates the possibility of a redundant reply and gives us a clear idea of exactly what it is that you need help with. Can you post what you have done so far and clarify what you mean by "parts b and c"?
