\[\sum \limits_{i=1}^n \dfrac{8i+7}{n^2}\] you can pull out n^2 because it got nothing to do with the index variable "i"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a previous one that i did

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\sum \limits_{i=1}^n \dfrac{8i+7}{n^2} = \frac{1}{n^2} \sum \limits_{i=1}^n (8i+7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get what it's asking though?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its just asking u work that sum and express it in terms of n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats should be the same exact answer as the one i had then? did you see the example that i got wrong?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you should get answer in terms of "n"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

because the sum form i=1 to n depends on "n" right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\begin{align} \sum \limits_{i=1}^n \dfrac{8i+7}{n^2} &= \frac{1}{n^2} \sum \limits_{i=1}^n (8i+7)\\~\\ &= \frac{1}{n^2}\left[ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n 8i+ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n7\right]\\~\\ &= \frac{1}{n^2}\left[ 8\sum \limits_{i=1}^n i+ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n7\right]\\~\\ \end{align}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the sum of first "n" natural numbers ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what do you get when u add 7 for n times ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\begin{align} \sum \limits_{i=1}^n \dfrac{8i+7}{n^2} &= \frac{1}{n^2} \sum \limits_{i=1}^n (8i+7)\\~\\ &= \frac{1}{n^2}\left[ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n 8i+ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n7\right]\\~\\ &= \frac{1}{n^2}\left[ 8\sum \limits_{i=1}^n i+ \sum \limits_{i=1}^n7\right]\\~\\ &= \frac{1}{n^2}\left[ 8\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+ 7n\right]\\~\\ \end{align}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried writing that as well, but it's just numbers no "N" expression in the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u get what i'm saying?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the system doesn't want any "n" in the asnwer

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

S(n) depends on "n" here, so i don't know how u gona fool the system

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do u know how to put it in wolfram i tried using it once, and it gave me wrong answers, or i don't know how to use it in other words

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wolfram understands latex
