Because OA is divided into n equal parts, it is: op1= p1p2 = p2p3 = … =1/n.
Namely: p 1 (1/n, 0), p2 (2/n), … p (n- 1) ((n- 1)/n, 0).
So the abscissa of Q 1 is 1/n, and Q 1 is in parabola y=-x? On+1, the ordinate is -( 1/n)? + 1=(n? - 1)/n?
The abscissa of Q2 is 2/n, and Q2 is in parabola y=-x? On+1, the ordinate is -(2/n)? + 1=(n? -4)/n?
…
The abscissa of Q(n- 1) is (n- 1)/n, and Q(n- 1) is in the parabola y=-x? On+1, the ordinate is -[(n- 1)/n]? + 1=[n? -(n- 1)? ]/n?
So: S 1= 1/2? OP 1? P 1Q 1= 1/2? 1/n? (n? - 1)/n? =(n? - 1)/(2n? )
S2= 1/2? P 1P2? P2Q2= 1/2? 1/n? (n? - 1)/n? =(n? -4)/(2n? )
…
S(n- 1)= 1/2? P(n-2)P(n- 1)? p(n- 1)Q(n- 1)= 1/2? 1/n? 【n? -(n- 1)? ]/n? =[n? -(n- 1)? ] /(2n? )
Therefore: w = s1+S2+…+s (n-1) = (n? - 1)/(2n? )+(n? -4)/(2n? )+…+[n? -(n- 1)? ] /(2n? )
=[(n? - 1)+ (n? -4)+…+ n? -(n- 1)? ] /(2n? )
={n? n? -[ 1? +2? +3? +…+(n- 1)? + n? - n? ]}/ (2n? )
=[ n? - 1/6n(n+ 1)(2n+ 1)+n? ]/ (2n? )
= 1/3+ 1/(4n)- 1/( 12n? )
When n→∞,1/(4n)-1/(12n? )→0
Therefore: w =1/3+1/(4n)-1/(12n? )→ 1/3
So, choose C.
