Math Problem Statement

Find the sum of the finite series. 9 ∑ n=0 41

Solution

The series you've given is a summation from n=0n = 0 to n=9n = 9 of the constant value 41. This is a finite arithmetic series where each term is 41.

The sum of a constant series is calculated as:

S=c×(nendnstart+1)S = c \times (n_{\text{end}} - n_{\text{start}} + 1)

Where:

  • c=41c = 41 (the constant value of each term),
  • nstart=0n_{\text{start}} = 0,
  • nend=9n_{\text{end}} = 9.

Thus, the number of terms in the series is nendnstart+1=90+1=10n_{\text{end}} - n_{\text{start}} + 1 = 9 - 0 + 1 = 10.

Now, calculate the sum:

S=41×10=410S = 41 \times 10 = 410

So, the sum of the finite series is 410410.
