MHB Solving the Limit of an Infinite Series

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on evaluating the limit of an infinite series using various methods. A proposed limit, \[\lim_{n \to{+}\infty}{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n({1+\frac{i}{n}}})^{-2}\], is solved using a Riemann sum approach, yielding a result of \(\frac{1}{2}\). Participants emphasize the importance of exploring multiple methods for solving the problem. There is a call for the original poster to share their own solution technique, as the problem has already been addressed satisfactorily. The conversation highlights the collaborative nature of problem-solving in mathematical forums.

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.
