rewrite in expanded form
\[\sum_{m=1}^{5} (2m^2+3)\]
thats the answer though
you need to sum each term for m=1, then m=2, then m=3, ... up to m=5
so, for example, the first term would be for m=1, giving:\[2(1)^2+3=2+3=5\]
samm2121: do you understand?
when i write my answer i write it like this (2m+3)+(2m^+3)+(2m^3+3)+(2m^4+3)+(2m^5+3)
each term of the sum is of the form \((2m^2+3)\)
and m goes from 1 to 5
asnaseer would you mind giving me the answer please
follow asnaseer's solution... I just realised my mistake
I can give you a hint instead. the first two terms would be:\[(2(1)^2+3) + (2(2)^2+3)\]
repeat this pattern for all 5 terms
okay would this be the answer 7+16+21+35+53 ?
how do you get 7 for the first term? if you look further up I worked out the first term for you as follows:\[2(1)^2+3=2+3=5\]
sorry i dont get it
what part don't you get?
sorry i just dont get how its not 7 i added and did as the formula follows
ok, lets take a look at the first term in detail:\[2(1)^2+3=2+3=5\]do you agree that \((1)^2=1\)?
\[2\times 1^2 + 3 = 5\]
yes
so then we have:\[2(1)^2+3=2*1+3=2+3=5\]
does that make sense now?
remember that:\[a(b)=a\times b\]
ok thanks
