Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded contains a mathematical problem asking to determine the sum of the series:
To solve this, we first calculate the sum of the terms and the sum of the terms separately.
-
Sum of from to : The sum of a sequence of multiples of a constant can be calculated by factoring out the constant and using the sum formula for consecutive integers, which is where is the number of terms.
- Calculate the sum .
- This series is an arithmetic sequence where , starting at . To find the sum, we note:
-
Sum of the constant term , added 17 times (from to ):
Adding these sums gives us the total sum of the series. Let's compute this.The sum of the series is 867.
Would you like more details on any part of the solution, or do you have any other questions?
Here are some related questions you might consider:
- How would the sum change if the series started from ?
- What if the constant term were different, for example, instead of ?
- Can you calculate the average value of the terms in this series?
- What if the series were extended to ? How would that affect the sum?
- How does changing the coefficient of (from 4 to another number) affect the sum of the series?
Tip: When solving series problems, separating variable terms from constants can simplify calculations, as seen with the terms and in this problem.
