Find the limit using Riemann sum

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a limit using Riemann sums, specifically focusing on the expression involving the limit as \( n \) approaches infinity of a sum related to a function \( f \). Participants are exploring the relationship between the sum and its integral representation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the difficulty of isolating terms in the sum to express them in the form of \( f(\frac{k}{n}) \). There are inquiries about the differences between two expressions involving \( t_1(n,k) \) and \( t_2(n,k) \), and whether their corresponding sums yield the same limit as \( n \) becomes large.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered hints and references to resources about Riemann sums with unequal widths. There is ongoing exploration of the relationships between different formulations of the sums, but no consensus has been reached on the specific limit or method to solve the problem.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the constraints of homework guidelines, which may limit the types of assistance they can provide. The original poster expresses a need for hints rather than complete solutions.

Homework Statement



i want to find limit value using riemann sum
\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i = 1}^{2n} f(a+\frac{(b-a)k}{n})\cdot\frac{(b-a)}{n}= \int_a^b f(x)dx<br>
question : <br>
\lim_{h \to \infty} =\frac{1}{2n+1}+\frac{1}{2n+3}+...+\frac{1}{2n+(2n-1)}<br>

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


<br>
\lim_{h \to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{n}\frac{1}{2+(2k-1)\frac{1}{n}}
i try to isolate 1/n but i can't find way to make this become f(\frac{k}{n}) since k is stuck in 2k-1, can someone give me a hint? thanks

How different are
$$t_1(n,k) = \frac{1}{2+\frac{2k-1}{n}} \;\; \text{and} \;\; t_2(n,k) = \frac{1}{2 + \frac{2k}{n}} ? $$
Do ##\sum \frac{1}{n} t_1(n,k)## and ##\sum \frac{1}{n} t_2(n,k)## have the same large-##n## limits?
