HELP PLIZ:/ What is the general form of the series 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + … + 1,024?
\(\large \begin{array}{cccccccl} 1&2&4&8&16&...&1024\\ \hline\\ 2^0&2^1&2^2&2^3&2^4&...&2^{10} \end{array}\implies \huge \Sigma_{n={\color{red}{ \square}} }^{{\color{red}{ \square }} ?}a^{{\color{red}{ \square ?}} }\)
I STILL DONT GT IT :/
I assume you're acquainted with the \(\huge \Sigma\) notation?
YES
\(\huge {\begin{array}{cccccccl} 1&2&4&8&16&...&1024\\ \hline\\ {\color{red}{ 2}}^0&{\color{red}{ 2}}^1&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 2}}}&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 4}}}&...&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 10}}} \end{array}\implies \\ \quad \\ \Sigma_{n={\color{blue}{ \square }} }^{{\color{blue}{ \square }} }\quad a^{{\color{red}{ \square }} } }\)
well to be precise... \(\large \begin{array}{cccccccl} 1&2&4&8&16&...&1024\\ \hline\\ {\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 0}}}&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 1}}}&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 2}}}&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 3}}}&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 4}}}&...&{\color{red}{ 2}}^{{\color{blue}{ 10}}} \end{array}\implies \huge \Sigma_{{\color{green}{ n}}={\color{blue}{ \square }} }^{{\color{blue}{ \square }} }\quad {\color{red}{ a}}^{{\color{green}{ \square }}}\) so... what do you think is the "starting value" for "n" or iterator, and the "end value" for it ?
