Definite Integration
Riemann Sum Advanced
Grade None

Question:

<p>Evaluate \(\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{n(n+k)}}\) [JEE Main 2019]</p>
\(2(\sqrt{2}-1)\)
\(\sqrt{2}-1\)
\(2\sqrt{2}-1\)
\(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Divide numerator and denominator by n: (1/n) \cdot \Sigma 1/\sqrt{1+k/n} \to \int_0^1 dx/\sqrt{1+x} = 2(\sqrt{2}-1).
<div class='solution'> <p>\[\frac{1}{\sqrt{n(n+k)}}=\frac{1}{n\sqrt{1+k/n}}\]</p> <p>\[\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{n(n+k)}}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+k/n}}\to\int_0^1\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x}}\]</p> <p>\[=\left[2\sqrt{1+x}\right]_0^1=2\sqrt{2}-2=2(\sqrt{2}-1)\]</p>
