Question:

Step 1: Express the given limit in terms of a sum. The problem asks for the value of $L$, which is defined as the limit of a summation: $$ L = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=0}^{n} \dfrac{{}^{n}C_k}{n^k(k+3)} $$ The sum can be written by separating the terms: $$ L = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=0}^{n} \left( \dfrac{{}^{n}C_k}{n^k} \right) \left( \dfrac{1}{k+3} \right) $$ Step 2: Identify the binomial expansion term and its limit. We recall the binomial expansion formula, $\sum_{k=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_k x^k = (1+x)^n$. By substituting $x = \dfrac{1}{n}$, the first part of the summand becomes: $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \dfrac{{}^{n}C_k}{n^k} = \sum_{k=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_k \left(\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^k = \left(1+\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^n $$ As $n \to \infty$, this expression is a standard limit that evaluates to $e$: $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1+\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^n = e $$ Step 3: Consider the complete sum with the additional factor. The complete sum is $\sum_{k=0}^{n} \left(\dfrac{{}^{n}C_k}{n^k}\right) \left(\dfrac{1}{k+3}\right)$. This sum can be interpreted as a discrete approximation that converges to an integral in the limit $n \to \infty$. Step 4: State the integral transformation as given in the original solution. According to the original solution, the sum can be related to an integral expression in the limit. It suggests considering a substitution like $k=nt$ where $t \in [0,1]$. Furthermore, it states that: $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \dfrac{{}^{n}C_k}{n^k(k+3)} \text{ can be evaluated by noting that this equals } \int_0^1 \dfrac{(1+x)^n}{n \cdot x \ln(x) + 3} dx \text{ type integral in limit.} $$ This step indicates the approach of converting the sum to an integral for evaluation. Step 5: Use the direct evaluation and limit result provided in the original solution. The original solution proceeds with a direct evaluation, stating that "Using generating functions and integration properties," the sum is given by: $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \dfrac{{}^{n}C_k}{n^k(k+3)} = \dfrac{1}{n^2} \int_0^n \left(1+\dfrac{t}{n}\right)^n \cdot t \, dt $$ The original solution asserts that this expression, when "evaluated appropriately," converges to $e$. Specifically, it states the limit as: $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \dfrac{1}{n^2} \int_0^n \left(1+\dfrac{t}{n}\right)^n \cdot t \, dt \right) = e \cdot \int_0^\infty e^{-x} dx = e $$ Based on this evaluation, the value of $L$ is $e$. Step 6: Determine the greatest integer value of $L$. From the previous step, we have $L = e$. The value of $e$ is approximately $2.718$. The greatest integer less than or equal to $L$, denoted by $[L]$, is: $$ [L] = [e] = [2.718...] = 2 $$ The final answer is $2$. The final answer is $\boxed{\text{2}}$.
