The Sigma Insight: Definite Integral as a Limit of a Sum

Analyzing the Setup

We are tasked with solving a limit of a summation, a classic challenge that requires breaking down complex expressions into manageable components. We begin by examining the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the equation:
The terms within the summation are , which form an arithmetic progression. We can decompose this sum into two distinct parts:
The first part is simply adding to itself times, yielding . The second part is the sum of the first natural numbers, which is . Thus, the bracketed sum simplifies to:

The Limit of the LHS

Now, we incorporate the limit:
To simplify, we factor out of the bracket:
Simultaneously, we rewrite the coefficient as:
As , the terms cancel out, and the terms involving vanish. We are left with , which simplifies to:

The Riemann Transformation

Next, we address the Right Hand Side (RHS):
We rewrite this expression to fit the definition of a Riemann sum:
This expression transforms directly into a definite integral:

The Final Showdown

We equate the simplified LHS and RHS to form an algebraic equation:
Multiplying both sides by to clear the denominators, we obtain:
Expanding this results in the quadratic equation:
Factoring the quadratic, we find:
This yields two potential values: and . Since the problem requires an integer solution, we discard the fractional value. The final answer is .
