I am not able to arrive at the same first part after applying theorems
\[\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left( 2+\frac{ i }{ n } \right)\left( \frac{ 1 }{ n } \right)\]
I keep getting (4n^2 + 4ni/n^2 + i^2/n^2) (1/n)
2/n + i/n^2 2/n is constant in i/n^2, 1/n^2 is constant
i believe you know whats summation of constant from 1 to n and whats summation of i from i = 1 to n ?
\(\sum \limits_{i=1}^n c = n \\ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}\)
2/n times n + (1/n^2) times (n) (n+1)/2 simplify
I get those two theorems sorry I forgot the squared, but when I apply \[\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left( 2n+\frac{ i }{ n } \right)^{2}\left( \frac{ 1 }{ n } \right)\]
ok, so u'll need one more formula \(\sum \limits_{i=1}^n i^2 = \dfrac{n (n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\) 2n + 4 n (n+1)/2 + (1/n^3) times n (n+1)(2n+1)/6
u get how i got that last expression ? (upon solving summation, you would surely not get any term in "i" )
that part I understand the book is telling me that it is (4n^2+4ni+i^2)/n^2 (1/n)
ofcourse thats without applying summation (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 (2n+i/n)^2 =....
I am not getting the 4n^2/n^2 part just 4n^2
\(\large \left( 2n+\frac{ i }{ n } \right)^{2}\left( \frac{ 1 }{ n } \right) = (4n^2 +2 \times 2n \times (i/n) +(i/n)^2) \: (1/n) \\ \large = (4n^2 +4i +i^2/n^2) (1/n) \)
something's not correct.... either question or answer in your book
you and I evaluated the same way, it's the book that is throwing me off
your book did \((2+i/n)^2\)
so whats the question ?? because at first you posted (2+i/n) then you said you missed the square sign and posted (2n+i/n)^2 (instead of (2+i/n)^2)
if it is actually \((2+i/n)^2\) then your book is correct
the original question was (2+i/n)^2 (1/n)
aah, then what you posted was not correct. your book is correct [(2n+i)/n ]^2
I thought I should evaluate that squared first, then apply the theorem
I see what you did there, that was my suspicion
thanks a lot, I was stuck all morning trying to rework this one
welcome ^_^
