∑5k = 1[8(k + 1)]

hartnn (hartnn):

you mean \(\Large \sum \limits_{k=1}^5 8(k+1)\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\sum \) means summation. so start plugging in k=1, then k=2...till k=5, and SUM all the results! :)

hartnn (hartnn):

like for k=1, we get \(8(1+1) = 8\times 2 =16\)

hartnn (hartnn):

do it for k=2, k=3, k=4, k=5 then sum all the results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16+42+36+40+48???

hartnn (hartnn):

42 and 36 are incorrect, how did you get them ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8(2+1)=24 8(3+4)=32 just miscalculated

hartnn (hartnn):

now all are correct :) just sum them up!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

160

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge \checkmark \)

Thank you!!!

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^

What about ∑20k = 1\[\Sigma^20 _1=_1k^2\] IDK how to get the 0 with the 2... @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

you mean \(\Large \sum \limits_{k=1}^{20} k^2 \) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is also a 1 before the k but it is _1 not just 1

hartnn (hartnn):

'before' the k ?? then i am not sure what the question is asking...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if i ignore the 1...

hartnn (hartnn):

can you draw the question ?
