Is the statement 'int x^n from 0 to 1 = 1/(n + 1)' true?

[cstvlr]

int x^n from 0 to 1 = 1/(n + 1)

But as n approaches infinity the answer becomes zero.

 

[Char. Limit]

Yep. And if you look at x^n for some number 0<x<1 and 0<n, x^n will get smaller as n increases. It's only natural to see the integral get smaller as well.

Ok, thanks.

It is true as long as n &gt; -1. For n < 0, it is not true.

It is true as long as n \geq 0. For n < 0, it is not true.

Correction: It is true as long as n > -1, not zero.

Corrected. Thanks. I forgot to edit that when I decided not to talk only about integers.
