Find a formula for the sum of n terms.   [tex]\sum\limits_{i=1}^n ( 8 + \frac{i}{n} )(\frac{2}{n} )[/tex]

Use the formula to find the limit as [tex]n \to \infty[/tex]

 

Answer:

   [tex]K_n = \frac{n + 73 }{n}[/tex]

  [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} K_n = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

     So let assume that

                  [tex]K_n = \sum\limits_{i=1}^n ( 8 + \frac{i}{n} )(\frac{2}{n} )[/tex]

=>             [tex]K_n = \sum\limits_{i=1}^n ( \frac{16}{n} + \frac{2i}{n^2} )[/tex]

=>              [tex]K_n = \frac{2}{n} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n (8) + \frac{2}{n^2} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n(i)[/tex]

Generally  

         [tex]\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (k) = \frac{1}{2} n (n + 1)[/tex]

So  

      [tex]\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (8) = \frac{1}{2} * 8* (8 + 1)[/tex]

      [tex]\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (8) = 36[/tex]

[tex]K_n = \frac{2}{n} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n (8) + \frac{2}{n^2} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n(i)[/tex]  

and  

  [tex]\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (i) = \frac{1}{2} n (n + 1)[/tex]

  Therefore

         [tex]K_n = \frac{72}{n} + \frac{2}{n^2} * \frac{1}{2} n (n + 1 )[/tex]

         [tex]K_n = \frac{72}{n} + \frac{1}{n} (n + 1 )[/tex]

         [tex]K_n = \frac{72}{n} + 1 + \frac{1}{n}[/tex]

        [tex]K_n = \frac{72 + 1 + n }{n}[/tex]

        [tex]K_n = \frac{n + 73 }{n}[/tex]

Now  [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} K_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{n + 73 }{n} ][/tex]

=>     [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{n + 73 }{n} ] = \lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{n}{n} + \frac{73 }{n} ][/tex]

=>     [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{n + 73 }{n} ] = \lim_{n \to \infty} [1 + \frac{73 }{n} ][/tex]

=>     [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{n + 73 }{n} ] = \lim_{n \to \infty} [1 ] + \lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{73 }{n} ][/tex]

=>    [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} [\frac{n + 73 }{n} ] = 1 + 0[/tex]

Therefore

      [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} K_n = 1[/tex]
