We know that  
let I =\int_{0}^{5}(x+1)dx
\\\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=(b-a)\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}[f(a)+f(a+h)+f(a+2h)+...+f(a+(n-1)h)]\\ h = \frac{b-a}{n}
Here a = 0, b = 5 and f(x)=(x+1)
therefore h=\frac{5}{n}


\int_{0}^{5}(x+1)dx=5\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}[f(0)+f(5/n)+.....+f((n-1)5/n)]                             =5\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}[1+(5/n+1)+....+(1+\frac{5(n-1)}{n})]\\ =5\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}[(1+1..+1)_{n}+\frac{5}{n}(1+2+3+...+n-1)]\\ =5\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}[n+\frac{5}{n}\frac{n(n-1)}{2}]\\ =5\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}[n+\frac{5(n-1)}{2}]\\ =5\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }[1+\frac{5(1-\frac{1}{n})}{2}]\\ =5[1+\frac{5}{2}]\\ =\frac{35}{2}
