definite integrals - Finding the value of a sum using Riemann sum theorem





Question: Find the value of ni=1(1ni)c for large n.




ni=1(1ni)c=ni=1(1n)c(11in)c=nn×ni=1(1n)c(11in)c=n(1n)cni=11n(11in)c(1)




Let f(x)=(11x)c, by using Riemann-sum theorem, we have
limnni=11n(11in)c=10(11x)c=A(2)
By using (1) and (2), for sufficently large n, we have
ni=1(1ni)c=A×n(1n)c





The presented proof has a problem, f(x) is not defined in the closed interval [0,1]. How can I solve this problem?







Definition (Riemann-sum theorem) Let f(x) be a function dened on a closed interval [a,b]. Then, we have
limnni=1f(a+(ban)i)1n=baf(x)dx


Answer



2ni+ni+11ni2ni+ni12(ni+1ni)1ni2(nini1)2n1i=1(ni+1ni)n1i=11ni2n1i=1(nini1)2(n1)n1i=11ni2n1
