Calculus Help anyone?

if you are determining if 1,2,3 are equivalent to the initial expression then first try expanding the series part in 1 and compare the expansion to the terms in the initial expression please let me know what you think about 1 after doing this

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Well, I know that 2 and 3 are both '2.' I forget how to do 1

example on expanding the sum \[\sum_{i=1}^{3} f(i)=f(1)+f(2)+f(3)\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

try expanding the sum in number 1 just a little

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{\pi}{n} \sin(\frac{k \pi}{n})\] this means you are going to add terms of the form pi/n sin(k*pi/n) starting at the integer k=1 then k=2 and then so on to k=n

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Ahhh I'm still a little confused

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\sum_{\color{red}{k=1}}^{\color{blue}{n}} \frac{\pi}{n} \sin(\frac{\color{red}{k} \pi}{n})\]

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Is there a definite answer for 1? Or are there multiple?? @freckles

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

(pi(sin)(pi/n)/(n) ??? @freckles

OpenStudy (freckles):

you do know that one symbol means to add right?

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\sum_{\color{red}{k=1}}^{\color{blue}{n}} \frac{\pi}{n} \sin(\frac{\color{red}{k} \pi}{n}) \\ =\frac{\pi}{n} \sin(\frac{\color{red}1\pi}{n})+\frac{\pi}{n}\sin(\frac{\color{red}2 \pi}{n})+\frac{\pi}{n} \sin(\frac{\color{red}3 \pi}{n})+ \cdots +\frac{\pi}{n} \sin(\frac{ \color{blue}{n} \pi}{n})\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

there is one answer for 1
