Show Answer
Solution:
- $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n+1}+\frac{1}{n+2}+\ldots+\frac{1}{6 n}=\sum _{r=1}^{5 n} \frac{1}{n+r}$
$$ \begin{aligned} & =\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum _{r=1}^{5 n} \frac{1}{1+\frac{r}{n}} \\ & =\int _0^{5} \frac{d x}{1+x}=[\log (1+x)] _0^{5}=\log 6-\log 1=\log 6 \end{aligned} $$
