Can someone please help me with this problem.... Evaluate the summation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{i=0}^{3}3^i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

starting from i=0 going to i=3 \[3^0+ 3^1+3^2 ...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer is 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, i did not write the summation out completely, its still missing the term when i=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+3+9+27=40 so yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
