Have these “calculus-based” consecutive summations been discovered yet?

Consider the sum-of-powers series



$$S_i(n) = 1^i + 2^i + cdots + n^i = sum_{k=1}^n y_i(k) quadtext{with}; y_i(x)=x^i tag{1}$$



For $i=1, 2, 3$, it turns out that we can write
$$begin{align}
S_1(n) &= frac{n+1}{n}cdotint_0^{n}y_1(x),dx tag{2a}\[4pt]
S_2(n) &= frac{n+1}{n}cdotint_0^{n}y_2(x),dx cdot frac{y_2^prime(n)+1}{y_2^prime(n)} tag{2b}\[4pt]
S_3(n) &= left(frac{n+1}{n}right)^2cdotint_0^{n}y_3(x),dx tag{2c}\[4pt]
end{align}$$
which simplify to the well-known formulas
$$begin{align}
S_1(n) &= frac12 n(n+1) tag{3a}\[4pt]
S_2(n) &= frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1) tag{3b}\[4pt]
S_3(n) &= frac14 n^2 (n + 1)^2 tag{3c}\[4pt]
end{align}$$



The only thing is that I'm not quite sure why these relations can include derivatives and integrals and somehow even work at all - they were simply a result of an extremely tiresome trial and error process. And can this "template" be extended to any $S_i(n)$ series or even more unorthodox variants?

    The Euler–Maclaurin formula might be of interest in this context, it describes the connection between the sum $sum_{i=0}^n f(i)$ and the integral $int_0^n f(x) dx$

    @MartinR I just had a quick look and I think I might need to spend more time decrypting the logic, since the terminology is much more complex than I can possibly understand. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Does this capture the intent of the question?



(BTW: I think you need to be a bit more explicit about why the relations in $(2)$ hold.)

    Thank you Blue for restating my question much more simply - I'm new on this platform so am still learning how to use the syntax. Would you mind completing your edit for the bit that I've added, and I'll replace my text with yours. Is that okay? Thanks again!

    Sure. I just noticed you added the case for cubes. Give me a minute.

    @JainamShah: Your question is now clear on where you need help. As Martin suggests, Euler seems to have beaten you to this kind of analysis. (Euler has probably beaten most mathematicians to something.)
