Growth rate of integer power sum

[Thomas_]

I need to show that

\sum_{i=0}^n i^k=\Theta(n^{k+1})

Or equivalently

\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sum_{i=0}^n i^k}{n^{k+1}}=CI simply don't know what to do with the sum here. I know that I can rewrite or expand it, but that doesn't seem to help me. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

You could think of the integer sum as a lower sum for an integral of f(x)=x^k.
