Solving the Limit of an Infinite Series

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on evaluating the limit of the infinite series \[\lim_{n \to{+}\infty}{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n({1+\frac{i}{n}}})^{-2}\]. The problem can be effectively solved using the Riemann sum approach, leading to the conclusion that the limit equals \(\frac{1}{2}\) through the integral \(\int^2_1 \frac{1}{x^2}\, dx\). Participants emphasized the importance of exploring various methods for solving the problem, with one user prompting others to share their techniques after a solution was provided.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Riemann sums
  • Familiarity with limits in calculus

hello ... I propose this exercise for you to solve on various methods ...\[\lim_{n \to{+}\infty}{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n({1+\frac{i}{n}}})^{-2}\]thanks

I have moved this topic, as it seems to be posted as a challenge rather than for help.

This can be solved directly using the Riemann sum

$$ \lim_{n \to{+}\infty} \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{n}{(n+i)^2}=\int^2_1 \frac{1}{x^2}\, dx = \frac{1}{2}$$

hello...interesting, but as I said in my previous forum topic or main focus is that you develop by various methods ... one can be evaluated by the summation properties and then calculate its limit for example,,,,,,,, if you are can't make exercise , there is not problem,,,, thanks...

Zaid has shown you a very straightforward method to evaluate the sum. Your initial post said only "solve on various methods." And this is what Zaid has done.

Why don't you demonstrate the technique you have? We expect that when people post problems as a challenge, they have a solution which they post if the problem has not been solved within about a week's time. Although this problem has been solved, but seemingly not to your satisfaction, it is now time for you to show us your solution.
