Which of the following expressions equals the right‐endpoint Riemann sum with nn equal subintervals that approximates ∫251x dx\displaystyle \int_{2}^{5} \frac{1}{x}\,dx? (a) ∑k=0n−112+3kn⋅3n\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{1}{2+\dfrac{3k}{n}}\cdot\frac{3}{n} (b) ∑k=1n12+3kn⋅3n\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{2+\dfrac{3k}{n}}\cdot\frac{3}{n} (c) ∑k=1n12+3(k−0.5)n⋅3n\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{2+\dfrac{3(k-0.5)}{n}}\cdot\frac{3}{n} (d) ∑k=1n12+3kn⋅n3\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{2+\dfrac{3k}{n}}\cdot\frac{n}{3}
