Answer 3

u should just plug i=1 to 6 there and simplify as much as possible

Answer 4

there is nothing Incomprehensible with it if u want to do it without computing engine just a little messy

Answer 5

oh thank you =) the teacher wanted the solution with a sigma notation though so i guess thats the answer.
