To determine the relationship between Sn, Tn, and 33π, we rewrite the given sums in terms of a Riemann sum for a function f(x).
The given expressions are: Sn=∑k=1nn2+kn+k2n=∑k=1nn1(1+nk+(nk)21) Tn=∑k=0n−1n2+kn+k2n=∑k=0n−1n1(1+nk+(nk)21)
Define the function: f(x)=1+x+x21for x∈[0,1]
Differentiating f(x) with respect to x: f′(x)=−(1+x+x2)22x+1
Since x≥0, we have 2x+1>0, which implies f′(x)<0 for all x∈[0,1].
Thus, f(x) is a strictly decreasing function on the interval [0,1].
Divide the interval [0,1] into n equal sub-intervals [nk−1,nk] for k=1,2,…,n, each of width Δx=n1.
Since f(x) is strictly decreasing on each sub-interval [nk−1,nk], we have: f(nk)<f(x)<f(nk−1)for all x∈(nk−1,nk)
Integrating over the interval [nk−1,nk] gives: n1f(nk)<∫nk−1nkf(x)dx<n1f(nk−1)
Summing these inequalities from k=1 to n: ∑k=1nn1f(nk)<∑k=1n∫nk−1nkf(x)dx<∑k=1nn1f(nk−1)
This simplifies to: Sn<∫01f(x)dx<Tn
Now, we evaluate the definite integral ∫01f(x)dx: ∫01x2+x+11dx=∫01(x+21)2+(23)21dx =[32arctan(23x+21)]01 =32[arctan(32x+1)]01 =32(arctan(3)−arctan(31)) =32(3π−6π)=32⋅6π=33π
Substituting the value of the integral back into the inequality, we obtain: Sn<33π<Tn
