Series

Nnesha:

\[y_1(x)=4+\frac{4}{8}x^2+\frac{4}{4\cdot 4\cdot 3}x^4+\frac{24 \cdot 4}{4\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot6}x^6\] i have to write the sigma notation of ^the series

Ultrilliam:

Tagging doesnt work in the question... Remind me to fix that

Nnesha:

they are not online so doesn't matter lol

Ultrilliam:

Yea but if the haven't disabled notifications they would receive a email lol

ThisGirlPretty:

@Vocaloid Help Help Help pleaseeeee D:

Vocaloid:

I'm not sure, I believe if you start n at 0 you can write the x part as x^2n but I'm uncertain about the coefficients @hero

Nnesha:

yeah i'm also confused about the numbers.

Nnesha:

\[=\large\rm \frac{4}{1!}+\frac{4}{4\cdot 2!} x^2+\frac{4}{4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3!}x^4+\frac{ 24 \cdot4 }{ 4!\cdot 2\cdot 6\cdot 5}x^6\]

Hero:

Thanks for the update. The original post was not making any sense at all.

Nnesha:

It's same as the top post.

Hero:

The top post does not have factorials

Nnesha:

We can't write this as sigma notation, so good thing i don't have to simplify anymore..

Nnesha:

yeah I've simplified to see the pattern but didn't work out.

Hero:

What did you simplify it to?

Nnesha:

the 2nd one.

Hero:

You can simplify it even further than that

Nnesha:

do you mean reducing fractions? yeah but i meant to say that i don't have to see the pattern. I just need the terms as final solution.

Hero:

Yes, reducing the fractions.

Nnesha:

i'll definitely do that :=))

Hero:

Post your result

Nnesha:

result ?

Hero:

Yes, post the expression you get after reducing the fractions.

Nnesha:

lol ok sir

Nnesha:

\[y(x)= 4+2x^2+12x^4+\frac{2}{90}x^6\]

Hero:

I got completely different coefficients

Nnesha:

sorry 1/45

Hero:

Even still

Nnesha:

show me your work.

Hero:

\(\dfrac{4}{4 \cdot 2!} = \dfrac{4}{4 \cdot2\cdot1} = \dfrac{4}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2 \cdot 1}\)

Hero:

For example

Nnesha:

\[\frac{ 2\cancel{4} \cdot \cancel{ 4 }}{ \cancel{4} \cdot cancel{4} \cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 6 }\]

Hero:

Why'd you skip the first one?

Nnesha:

\[\frac{ 2\cancel{4} \cdot \cancel{4} }{ \cancel{4} \cdot \cancel{4} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 6 }\]

Nnesha:

bec you're going to do it for me. thank you

Hero:

Yep, and you can still simplify even further.

Hero:

You should get fractional coefficients for all but the first term.

Nnesha:

\[\frac{ 2\cancel{4 }\cdot \cancel{4} }{\cancel{ 4} \cdot \cancel{4} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 6 }= \frac{2}{90}=\frac{1}{45}\]

Hero:

Which term is that? You have to start from the beginning. I don't know which term that is.

Nnesha:

last one

Nnesha:

i start from right

Nnesha:

\[\frac{ 2\cancel{4 }\cdot \cancel{4} }{\cancel{ 4} \cdot \cancel{4} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot \color{Red}{\cancel{6}} }x^\color{Red}{\cancel{6}}= =\frac{2}{15}\]

Nnesha:

found a mistake sorry

Hero:

Of course you did.

Hero:

I don't feel like typing it all out to be honest.

Nnesha:

same

Nnesha:

just give me the answer

Hero:

Hang on

Hero:

Nnesha:

Nnesha:

that's wrong ?? :o

Hero:

Where's the SIX in the numerator. Remember, originally, you had 24 * 4 in the numerator, right?

Nnesha:

yes 24 since 4 and 4 are the same so 4 cancels out

Hero:

And how are you cancelling the \(x^6\) term?

Hero:

Your work as currently constructed makes no sense.

Nnesha:

since 6 and 6 are alike, 6 cancels out

Hero:

You're cancelling exponents with coefficients. That doesn't make any sense.

Nnesha:

ohh i can't do that ??? hmm sorry

Hero:

NO, you definitely cannot do that.

Nnesha:

ohh okay don't yell at me still learning

Hero:

As far as I know, that is correct.

Hero:

Unless your 24 isn't 24.

Hero:

Is 24 supposed to be TWENTY-FOUR? Or is it supposed to be 2 times 4?

Hero:

Is 24 supposed to be TWENTY-FOUR? Or is it supposed to be 2 times 4?

Nnesha:

yeah 24 is 24 or it can 42 right since ab=ba

Hero:

Because you have it written as TWENTY-FOUR not 2 times 4. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Nnesha:

yes sir

Hero:

If I interpret what you have written literally. \(24\) as you have written \(/ne\ 2 \times 4\) Do you understand?

Hero:

I'm gonna give up if you don't comprehend that you wrote 24 and not \(2 \times 4\)

Nnesha:

it's too wenty for

Nnesha:

i have to go thanks hero!!

Hero:

smh

Hero:

Good luck. You seem to confuse numbers at certain points. You have to work on that.

Nnesha:

lol

Nnesha:

i can't believe what i ended up doing

Hero:

@Nnesha perhaps try posting the problem from the original source itself.
