Shaped into a box

Calculus Level 5

Suppose we define a type of function f ( x ) = k x n n + x n f\left( x \right) =\dfrac { k{ x }^{ n } }{ n+{ x }^{ n } } with n > 0 n>0 and k > 0 k>0 . To calculate a convergent area above the curve for f ( x ) f\left( x \right) over the domain of all real numbers, one can bound this area with a horizontal line, y = lim x ± f ( x ) \displaystyle y=\lim _{ x\rightarrow \pm \infty }{ f\left( x \right) } .

Using this information, find an expression for this area as lim n f ( x ) \displaystyle \lim _{ n\rightarrow \infty }{ f\left( x \right) } . Write your answer in terms of k k .


This problem is original.
the area diverges as lim n f ( x ) \lim _{ n\rightarrow \infty }{ f\left( x \right) } k 2 { k }^{ 2 } e k ek π k 2 \frac { \pi k }{ 2 } 2 k 2k
