let N_1 =N, N_2 =N+k (N_1 , N_2 )∈Z, ∴(N, k)∈Z N_1 <N_2 , ∴k>0 N≤x<N+1⇒⌊x⌋=N N+1≤x<N+2⇒⌊x⌋=N+1 ⋮ N+k−1≤x<N+k⇒⌊x⌋=N+k−1 The area between a→a+1 for ⌊x⌋ =∫_a ^( a+1) ⌊x⌋=a ∵It is a rectangle with l=1, h=a For the total area of A, we need to sum all the rectangular areas ∫_N ^(N+k) ⌊x⌋dx=N+(N+1)+...+(N+k−1) =N(k)+(1+2+...+(k−1)) =Nk+Σ_(i=1) ^(k−1) i =Nk+(1/2)(k−1)(1+k−1) =Nk+(1/2)k(k−1) ∴A=∫_N ^( N+k) ⌊x⌋dx=Nk+(1/2)k(k−1) Test: ∫_2 ^( 5) ⌊x⌋dx=9 (wolfram) N=2, N+k=5⇒k=3 A=2×3+(1/2)3(3−1) =6+(1/2)(2)3 =9 =True

Σ_(i=0) ^(k−1) i=0+Σ_(i=1) ^(k−1) i=Σ_(i=1) ^(k−1) i=((k−1)/2)(k−1+1)=((k(k−1))/2)≠(1/2)(k−1)^2

$$\underset{{i}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{{k}−\mathrm{1}} {\sum}}{i}=\mathrm{0}+\underset{{i}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{k}−\mathrm{1}} {\sum}}{i}=\underset{{i}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{k}−\mathrm{1}} {\sum}}{i}=\frac{{k}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left({k}−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}\right)=\frac{{k}\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}}\neq\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
