Answer

See explanation.

Work Step by Step

First three terms: $(\mathrm{a})\left(\frac{3}{n}+2\right)^{4} \frac{3}{n}+\left(\frac{6}{n}+2\right)^{4} \frac{3}{n}+\left(\frac{9}{n}+2\right)^{4} \frac{3}{n}$ Last two terms: \[ \left(\frac{3(-1+n)+2}{n}\right)^{4} \frac{3}{n}+\left(\frac{3 n}{n}+2\right)^{4} \frac{3}{n} \] We note that the sum starts at $1=k,$ which means that the interval starts from 2, and for the first letter, we add $ \ underline {3} $ to its value. Observe the sum (b) $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\left(k \cdot \frac{3}{n}+2\right)^{4} \frac{3}{n}$ If we start the sum at $ k = 0 $ and end at $ n-1$, we'll use the left endpoint approximation.
