Step-by-step solution

This numerical can be solved by using the concept of Definite integral as limit of sum.

lim⁡n→∞∑rar=1n(n+1)a−1[∑r=1n(na+r)]\lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{\mathop{∑ {r}^{a}}_{r = 1}^{n}}{{\left(n + 1\right)}^{a - 1}\left[\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n} ( na + r )\right]}

Divide Numerator and Denominator by na{n}^{a} and rearranging the terms

lim⁡n→∞∑r=1n(rn)a((1+1n)a−1)[∑r=1n(a+rn)]\lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}{\left(\dfrac{r}{n}\right)}^{a}}{\left({\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{n}\right)}^{a - 1}\right)\left[\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}\left(a + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)\right]}

Now Multiply Numerator and denominator by 1n\dfrac{1}{n}

lim⁡n→∞∑r=1n(rn)a×1n((1+1n)a−1)[∑r=1n(a+rn)]×1n\lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}{\left(\dfrac{r}{n}\right)}^{a} \times \dfrac{1}{n}}{\left({\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{n}\right)}^{a - 1}\right)\left[\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}\left(a + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)\right] \times \dfrac{1}{n}}

Now Replace 1n\dfrac{1}{n} by dxdxand rn\dfrac{r}{n} by xx and the lower limit and upper limit will be lim⁡n→∞1n=0,lim⁡n→∞nn=1\lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{1}{n} = 0, \lim_{n \to \infty}\dfrac{n}{n} = 1,and ∑\mathop{∑}_{}^{} will be replaced by ∫{∫}_{}^{}
