Solution
This problem involves recognizing the expression as a Riemann sum and solving for the integral.
The given limit is:
Step-by-Step Explanation:
-
Recognize the Riemann Sum:
The expression corresponds to the Riemann sum definition of a definite integral: where:- (width of each subinterval),
- (sample point in the interval).
Here:
- ,
- .
From , the interval length is . This tells us .
From , the interval starts at . Thus:
Therefore, the Riemann sum is approximating the integral:
-
Equating to the Given Value: The problem states that the Riemann sum converges to . Thus:
