MHB Solving the Limit of an Infinite Series

AI Thread 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.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
