Answer

$$ 3 $$

Work Step by Step

We will write the sum in closed form $\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1+6 k}{n^{2}}=\frac{6}{n^{2}} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{n^{2}} +k\sum_{k=1}^{n} 1$ $=\frac{6}{n^{2}} \cdot \frac{(1+n)n}{2}+n \cdot \frac{1}{n^{2}} $ $=\frac{3 n+1 n+3 n^{2}}{n^{2}}=\frac{4n +3 n^{2}}{n^{2}}$ Take the limit as $n \rightarrow+\infty$ $\lim _{n \rightarrow+\infty} \frac{4 n+3 n^{2}}{n^{2}}=3$
