@loveblue

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

@lovekblue the continuation is here. i'll write the solution again.

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

\[\Large \frac{ 2 }{ n }\left[ \left( \frac{ 3i }{ n } \right)^3+\frac{ 5i }{ n } +2 \right]=\frac{ 1 }{ n }\left[ 2\left( \frac{ 3i }{ n } \right)^3+\frac{ 10i }{ n } +2 \right]\]

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

\[=\frac{ 1 }{ n }\left[ 2\cdot3^3\left( \frac{ i }{ n } \right)^3+10\frac{ i }{ n } +4 \right]\]\[=\frac{ 1 }{ n }\left[ 54\left( 0+i\frac{ 1 }{ n } \right)^3+10(0+i\frac{ 1 }{ n }) +4 \right]\]

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

it's easier to deal with 1/n than 2/n. i'm "cheating" my way to solving it. LOL

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

set \[\large c_i=0+i \frac{1}{n}\] we conclude that \(a = 0\) \[\Delta x = \frac{b-0}{n} = \frac{1}{n}\] we see that \(b = 1\) finally, the expression inside the pair [ ] (which is \(f(c_i)\) is \[54(c_i)^3+10c_i+4=f(c_i)\] our \(f(x)\) is \[\Large f(x)=54x^3+10x+4\] and \[\Large \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{ 2 }{ n }\left[ \text{whatever is here}\right]=\int\limits_{0}^{1}\left( 54x^3+10x+4 \right) dx\]

@_@ oh wowww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give me a problem to let me try this out ~

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

while the solution is impressive, you will find that direct evaluation of the limit is far easier and less analytic. let me show how. (3i/n)^3=(27/n^3) i^3 (5i/n) = (5/n) i now, summation (i) = n(n+1)/2 summation (i^3) = n^2(n+1)^2/4 summation (2) = 2n

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

thus, (2/n) [ (27/n^3) n^2(n+1)2/4 + (5/n) n(n+1)/2 + 2n] \[=\frac{ 27n^2(n+1)^2 }{ 4n^4 }+\frac{ 5n(n+1) }{ 2n^2 }+\frac{ 2n }{ n }\] evaluating the limit of each fraction at inf, \[=\frac{ 27 }{ 4 }+\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }+2=\frac{ 45 }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but will they always have the same power of coefficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it only works if they have the same power

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

it will always be the case for the riemann sum over a polynomial f(x)

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

ALWAYS!

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

A L W A Y S ! ! !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really, okay ;D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u basically covered 90% of the topics i've learned in this half year :P

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

some mistake there... i forgot the 2 in (2/n). the correct answer should be 45/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what...oh lol..opps..me too >.>
