Question
![**5. The following limit is used to find the area under a curve**
\( y = f(x) \) from \( x = a \) to \( x = b \).
**Evaluate the limit**
\[
\lim_{{n \to \infty}} \frac{2}{n} \sum_{{i=1}}^{n} \left[ \left( 1 + \frac{2i}{n} \right)^2 - \left( 1 + \frac{2i}{n} \right) \right]
\]
This expression represents a Riemann sum, which is a method for approximating the integral (or the area under a curve) over a specified interval. The limit of this sum as \( n \) approaches infinity gives the exact area. The terms inside the brackets involve evaluating a function at specific points and represent the height of rectangles under the curve, while \(\frac{2}{n}\) represents the width of these rectangles.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fabf7f939-657a-4cb9-aa9d-1310fbdc7d61%2Fe8b03943-560a-4a71-a3e7-3c21b95cfb11%2Fa4vess_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
