I'm not sure, that is all the information that was provided. Someone else plugged it into Mathematica and got [math]\frac{3}{2}[/math]. They used the inequality [math]\int_{1}^{2^n}\sqrt{x} dx < \sum_{k=1}^{2^n}\sqrt{k} < 1+\int_{1}^{2^n}\sqrt{x} dx[/math].
I came across these problems on the internet. I just wanted to know if I'm missing something (being in Calculus) and not knowing these.

Dual-Enrollment. My high school only offers through AP Calculus so I have to take my math classes at a local community college. Thanks for your help everyone.

[math]\displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow 0}\frac{\log_{2}\sum_{k=1}^{2^n}\sqrt{k}}{n}[/math]
[math]\displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow 0}\frac{\log_{2}\sum_{k=1}^{2^n}\sqrt{2k-1}}{n}[/math]
I have had people give me the results after plugging it into Mathematica/Maple, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve these without a computer.

You know, I'm in Calculus II also. This is the first time I have seen anyone use the concept of modulo. I am a junior in high school now, and I would expect that questions like these would appear on AIME/USAMO tests. Where/when in the sequence of math courses does someone usually encounter the uses of modulo (and these types of problems)? Would this be an analytic number theory course?

Area Problem.

You have a linear function [math]f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}x+4[/math] where [math]0\leq x\leq 6[/math] and [math]0\leq y\leq 4[/math]. What is the maximum area of a rectangle that has one side on the line of the function?
I know how to optimize this, I am just having trouble finding the equation for area of such a rectangle in terms of the function.
I have included an image of what I am talking about. Thanks a lot.
