Question

(i) Estimate the sum for n = 10, 100 and 1000 (you may use computational tools to help, make sure to include supporting code).

 

The image contains a mathematical expression involving a summation. The expression is written as:

\[
\sum_{i=1}^{n} \sin\left(\frac{i\pi}{n}\right) \cdot \frac{\pi}{n}
\]

This formula represents the sum of sine functions multiplied by a fraction involving \(\pi\), iterated from \(i = 1\) to \(n\), where \(n\) is an integer. The sine function is evaluated at \(\frac{i\pi}{n}\) and then multiplied by \(\frac{\pi}{n}\). This type of expression might appear in the context of numerical integration or Fourier analysis on an educational website.

Expert Solution
Step 1

For n=10 

i=110sin10π10=i=110sin10×π10=1.98352353751 (using desmos computational tool)

 

Supporting code: \sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(\sin\left(\frac{i\pi}{10}\right)\times\frac{\pi}{10}\right)
