when k=1  ⌊(1/(e−1))⌋=⌊0.582⌋=0    when k = 2  ⌊(1/( (√e)−1))⌋=⌊1.541⌋=1    when k = 3  ⌊(1/(e^(1/3) −1))⌋=⌊2.528⌋=2    when k = 4  ⌊(1/(e^(1/4) −1))⌋=⌊3.521⌋=3    So  Σ_(k=1) ^n ⌊(1/( (e)^(1/k) −1))⌋  =Σ_(k=1) ^n (k−1)  =(n^2 /2)
$${when}\:{k}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}−\mathrm{1}}\rfloor=\lfloor\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{582}\rfloor=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${when}\:{k}\:=\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{e}}−\mathrm{1}}\rfloor=\lfloor\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{541}\rfloor=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${when}\:{k}\:=\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}} −\mathrm{1}}\rfloor=\lfloor\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{528}\rfloor=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${when}\:{k}\:=\:\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} −\mathrm{1}}\rfloor=\lfloor\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{521}\rfloor=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${So} \\ $$$$\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}\lfloor\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt[{{k}}]{{e}}−\mathrm{1}}\rfloor \\ $$$$=\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$=\frac{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

e^(1/k)   1+x+(x^2 /2)e≥e^x >1+x  ⇒(1/k)+(e/(2k^2 ))≥e^(1/k) −1<(1/k)  ⇒((2k^2 )/(2k+e))≤(1/(e^(1/k) −1))≤k  ⇒k−1<k−(e/(2k+e))≤(1/(e^(1/k) −1))<k  ⇒[(1/(e^(1/k) −1))]=k−1  Σ_(k=1) ^n k−1=((n(n−1))/2)

  the answer is wrong.  Σ_(k=1) ^n k = ((n(n−1))/2)  But  Σ_(k=1) ^n k−1 ≠ ((n(n−1))/2)  it should be equal to (n^2 /2)
$$ \\ $$$${the}\:{answer}\:{is}\:{wrong}. \\ $$$$\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}{k}\:=\:\frac{{n}\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${But} \\ $$$$\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}{k}−\mathrm{1}\:\neq\:\frac{{n}\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${it}\:{should}\:{be}\:{equal}\:{to}\:\frac{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

(n^2 /2)∉N  for n=2k+1  Σ_1 ^n k=((n(n+1))/2)  Σ_(k=1) ^n (k+a)=((n(n+2a+1)))/2)

it was meant:  Σ_(k=1) ^n (k−1)=((n(n−1))/2)
$${it}\:{was}\:{meant}: \\ $$$$\underset{\mathrm{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\mathrm{n}} {\sum}}\left(\mathrm{k}−\mathrm{1}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{n}−\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
