Math Problem Statement

calculate the summation from i=3 to 3 of the summation from j=0 to 3 of (j * i + j)

Solution

To solve this, we will break down the problem step by step.

We are given the double summation:

i=33j=03(ji+j)\sum_{i=3}^{3} \sum_{j=0}^{3} (j \cdot i + j)

  1. Inner summation: First, let's focus on the inner sum:

    j=03(ji+j)\sum_{j=0}^{3} (j \cdot i + j) This expression can be split into two separate sums:

    j=03(ji)+j=03j\sum_{j=0}^{3} (j \cdot i) + \sum_{j=0}^{3} j

    • The first sum is:

      j=03(ji)=ij=03j=i(0+1+2+3)=i6=6i\sum_{j=0}^{3} (j \cdot i) = i \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{3} j = i \cdot (0 + 1 + 2 + 3) = i \cdot 6 = 6i

    • The second sum is:

      j=03j=0+1+2+3=6\sum_{j=0}^{3} j = 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

    Therefore, the inner summation becomes:

    6i+66i + 6

  2. Outer summation: Now, for the outer sum, we sum this expression over ii from 3 to 3 (which only takes the value i=3i = 3):

    i=33(6i+6)\sum_{i=3}^{3} (6i + 6)

    When i=3i = 3, the expression becomes:

    63+6=18+6=246 \cdot 3 + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24

Thus, the value of the entire summation is:

24\boxed{24}

Would you like further explanation or help with other problems?

Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. What would happen if the outer sum was from i=1i = 1 to i=3i = 3?
  2. How can we generalize this formula for summations of this type?
  3. Can you modify this summation to include a higher power of jj?
  4. What is the result if the bounds of both summations are changed to different integers?
  5. How would this change if we replace ii with a constant value?

Tip: For double summations like this, break the problem into manageable parts—starting with the inner sum, then moving to the outer sum.
