Real Analysis: Limit Proof with help of ratio convergence property

enter image description here

The thing is to, using the property above, prove the expression below. First tried to obtain the difference between n and n+1 terms, then factored out n+1 ^ p and rearanged the sequence. I've represented the latest with 1/ [ n+1 - ( 1 - 1/(n+1) ) ^ p+1 n+1 ] I thought about using bernoulli inequality, but am not sure Need some ideas or tips on how to finish the proof please Thanks

You can evaluate the limit in a different way if you view it as a Riemann integral.

Notice that $\frac{1^p + 2^p + ... + n^p}{n^{p+1}} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{j=1}^n (j/n)^p \to \int_0^1 x^p dx = \frac{1}{p+1}$ as $n \to \infty$.
