Calculate the following series:
\[A) \sum_{k=1}^{20}3k^2 + 5k\]
\[= 3\sum_{k=1}^{20}k^2 + 5 \sum_{k=1}^{20}k\]Right?
\[B) \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\sum_{k=1}^{n}(4 + \frac{ 2k }{ 3 }\times \frac{ 1 }{ n })(\frac{ 1 }{ n })\]
Yes.
Now use the results:\[\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]\[\sum_{k=1}^n k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\]
3(8610)+5(210)
= 26880
I guess so.
For the second one, just simplify the whole thing and then see what happens when \(n \to \infty\) afterwards
So take the limit after doing the same process to the series?
Yeah, don't worry about the limit. We'll handle that later. Just simplify the expression first.
First \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\sum_{k=1}^{20} (\frac{ 4 }{ n }+\frac{ 2k^3 }{ n }×\frac{ 1 }{ n^2 })\]
Where did the 20 come in the picture?
Actually I don't even need to do that. \[4\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{ 1 }{ n } + 2\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{ k^3 }{ n } + \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{ 1 }{ n^2 }\]
Sorry, my mistake
Yes, also note that \(n\) is a constant in the summation.
Noted.
lol ok, now calculate the rest. don't think about the limit until you're done.
Ok. ((n^2+n)/2) + ((4n^4 + 12n^2)/4) + ((2n^3 + n^2 +3n+n)/6)
Sorry that took so long.
Simplified that would be:
oh what
\[\frac{ n^2 + n}{ 2 }+\frac{ 4n^4 +12n^2}{ 4 }+\frac{ 2n^3 +n^2+4n}{ 6 } \rightarrow \frac{ 6n^2 + 6n }{ 12 }+ \frac{ 12n^4 +36n^2}{ 12 } + \frac{ 4n^3 + 2n^2+8n}{ 12 }\]
my god no
lol
\[\frac{4}{n}+\frac{2k}{3n^2}\]is this your summand?
Sure
Did anyone calculate the sum to be 9660 ?
yes 9660 is correct @robtobey
