[karush]

I tried this by the limit process but somewhere can't find my error
wolfram says it is 128.25 any suggest or find error?

Hi karush,

Can I ask you how are you typing up those equations? Is it through Latex or Mathtype or what?

One possible place for your error is where you have:

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(2n+1)}{2}$

You should have:

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

edit: Yes, once you change this, you will get the correct answer.

yep that fixed it .... thanks
hard to see errors like this
should always study with someone...

the equations was from Word2010 equation writer,,,,, I know junk compared to TeX

Karush, I'm glad you found an answer so quickly. I don't have anything to add to the answer, but I wanted to mention that there are ways to get your formula from Word 2010 into Math Help Boards so that it looks nice over here (like MarkFL's did in his reply). I'm sure you know MHB uses LaTeX for input. It also uses MathJax for displaying the LaTeX equations. If you have MathType, there's a quick way to convert the Word 2010 equation into LaTeX, then just copy & paste it over here. You don't have to put any tags around it or anything. Here's an example:

1. I'll use one of the Word 2010 sample equations for the example:
   .
2. Unless you want to convert all the equations in your Word document, select the equation you want. If you have more than one equation to convert, Make a selection that covers all the equations.
   
3. In Word's MathType tab, choose the Convert Equations command, and make these selections in the dialog: "Equation types to convert": Word 2007 and later (OMML) equations, and "Convert equations to": Text using MathType translator: Math Help Boards. Note that you can have more boxes checked on the left side than just the "Word 2007" one, but you must have that one checked. On the right, if one or both of the boxes at the bottom are checked, it's OK, but they don't need to be.
4. Click Convert. The MathType macro will do its magic, and when it's finished you'll see a dialog telling you how many equations were converted. You'll see something like this:
   
5. Copy it (all of it) and paste it into your MHB post. If you want to make sure the math looks right, click Preview Post. This one looks like this: \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {\left( {1 + \frac{1}{n}} \right)^n}
   % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-

   % amaaCaaaleqabaWdbiaad6gaaaaaaa!442E!
   \)
6. If you ever want to use any of the equations from MHB in Word, whether they're your equations or someone else's, right-click the equation and choose Show Math As > MathML Code. Copy the entire contents of the pop-up box and paste it in to Word. If you don't have MathType, it will paste as an OMML equation (IOW, a "Word equation"). If you have MathType, it will ask if you want an OMML equation or a MathType equation. Choose whatever you want.

thank for info, I will try this, new brave world .... MathType

I have done a lot Latex... but is timely especially when it already done someplace else.
