find a formula...

OpenStudy (jennychan12):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{n} (2i/2)(2/n) \] Find a formula for the sum of n terms. Use the formula to find the limit as n--> infinity

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

should it be summation in n or summation in i ?? please confirm//

OpenStudy (jennychan12):

sorry it should be i = 1

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

seems like limit of a sum problem..you know that?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

You mean the summation is: \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{ 2i }{ 2 }\frac{ 2 }{ n }=2*\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{ i }{ n }\]

OpenStudy (zehanz):

If you write it out you get: \[2\left( \frac{ 1 }{ n }+\frac{ 2 }{ n }+...+\frac{ n }{ n } \right)=\] \[\frac{ 2 }{ n }(1+2+...+n)=\] \[\frac{ 2 }{ n }\frac{ n(n+1) }{ 2 }=n+1\] Now it is clear that\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(n+1)=\infty \]

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

seems legit..
