The sum ∑ k = 1 ∞ n ( 1 + n k ) 2 1 is actually the Riemann sum for the integral ∫ 0 ∞ ( 1 + x ) 2 1 = 1 . This means the answer is 2.
Consider the sum:
n → ∞ lim k = 1 ∑ n ( n + k ) 2 n = S 1
⟹ n → ∞ lim k = 1 ∑ n ( 1 + n k ) 2 n 1 = S 1
Take 1 / n = d x and k / n = x This transforms the sum to the following integral as n tends to infinity:
S 1 = ∫ 0 1 ( 1 + x ) 2 d x = 2 1
Again, consider the sum:
k = 1 ∑ ∞ n → ∞ lim ( n + k ) 2 n = S 2
S 2 = k = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n → ∞ lim ( 1 + n k ) 2 n 1 ) S 2 = k = 1 ∑ ∞ 0 ∵ n → ∞ lim ( 1 + n k ) 2 n 1 = 0 ⟹ S 2 = 0
Therefore:
∫ 0 2 ( S 1 + S 2 ) d x = 1
See the upper limit for the sum definition that I have used for S 1 . I think that is the correct notation rather than what is used in the problem statement.
In S 1 the sum inside the limit is not from 1 to n and that changes everything ! The true answer (the true result of what is given in the problem) is 2. Either there is a typo in the problem, either the answer 1 is wrong and should be 2.
