Given that $\mathrm{f}$ is a continuous function, explain, with the aid of a sketch, why the value of

$\underset{n\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{n}\left[ \mathrm{f}\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)+\mathrm{f}\left( \frac{2}{n} \right)+...+\mathrm{f}\left( \frac{n}{n} \right) \right]$

is $\displaystyle\displaystyle \displaystyle\int\nolimits_{0}^{1}{\mathrm{f}(x)\mathrm{d}x}$.

Hence evaluate $\underset{n\,\to \,\infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{1}{n}\left( \frac{\sqrt[3]{1}+\sqrt[3]{2}+...+\sqrt[3]{n}}{\sqrt[3]{n}} \right)$.
