Question Number 174876 by infinityaction last updated on 13/Aug/22

let f:[0,1]→R be a continuous function ditermine (with appropriate justification) the following limit: lim_(n→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx

Sorry if it sounds rude, but your question is either meaningless or trivial when you write: lim_(x→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx if you have a signle x it does′t mean anything now if you mean: (x≠x) lim_(x→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx the limit is useless so the result is ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx if you mean: lim_(x→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx or lim_(x→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx it′s also very trivial I think you probably meant lim_(n→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx f beeing Continuous on an interval, it is bounded let F ∈R_+ ∀ε<1 ∫_0 ^ε nx^n Fdx=(n/(n+1))ε^(n+1) F (1) and ∫_0 ^1 nx^n Fdx=(n/(n+1))F (2) So we can use (2) to get that the integral cannot be bigger that the maximal value of F nor smaler than the smallest. because (2)→_(n→∞) F while (1) shows that the values smaler that the part of f on values smaler than 1 has no importance. because (1)→_(n→∞) 0 By considering increasingly bigger ε we find lim_(n→∞) ∫_0 ^1 nx^n f(x)dx=f(1) _□
