Math Problem Statement

Use the summation formulas to rewrite the expression ∑ (4i + 9) / n² without the summation notation. Find the sums for n = 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000.

Solution

The given expression involves summing the function 4i+9n2\frac{4i + 9}{n^2} from i=1i = 1 to nn. Let’s break it down step by step to rewrite the summation and then calculate the sum for the values of n=10,100,1000,n = 10, 100, 1000, and 1000010000.

Step 1: Rewrite the summation

The summation formula given is:

S(n)=i=1n4i+9n2S(n) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4i + 9}{n^2}

This can be split into two separate sums:

S(n)=i=1n4in2+i=1n9n2S(n) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4i}{n^2} + \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{9}{n^2}

Now, let’s handle each sum individually.

First sum: i=1n4in2\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4i}{n^2}

i=1n4in2=4n2i=1ni\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4i}{n^2} = \frac{4}{n^2} \sum_{i=1}^{n} i

We know the formula for the sum of the first nn integers is:

i=1ni=n(n+1)2\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}

So:

i=1n4in2=4n2n(n+1)2=2(n+1)n\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{4i}{n^2} = \frac{4}{n^2} \cdot \frac{n(n+1)}{2} = \frac{2(n+1)}{n}

Second sum: i=1n9n2\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{9}{n^2}

Since 9n2\frac{9}{n^2} is constant with respect to ii, it just multiplies by nn:

i=1n9n2=9nn2=9n\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{9}{n^2} = \frac{9n}{n^2} = \frac{9}{n}

Step 2: Combine the two sums

Now combine the results of both sums:

S(n)=2(n+1)n+9nS(n) = \frac{2(n+1)}{n} + \frac{9}{n}

Simplifying further:

S(n)=2n+2+9n=2n+11nS(n) = \frac{2n + 2 + 9}{n} = \frac{2n + 11}{n}

Thus, the final expression for S(n)S(n) is:

S(n)=2+11nS(n) = 2 + \frac{11}{n}

Step 3: Compute S(n)S(n) for specific values of nn

Now, let’s plug in the given values of nn:

  1. For n=10n = 10:

S(10)=2+1110=2+1.1=3.1S(10) = 2 + \frac{11}{10} = 2 + 1.1 = 3.1

  1. For n=100n = 100:

S(100)=2+11100=2+0.11=2.11S(100) = 2 + \frac{11}{100} = 2 + 0.11 = 2.11

  1. For n=1000n = 1000:

S(1000)=2+111000=2+0.011=2.011S(1000) = 2 + \frac{11}{1000} = 2 + 0.011 = 2.011

  1. For n=10000n = 10000:

S(10000)=2+1110000=2+0.0011=2.0011S(10000) = 2 + \frac{11}{10000} = 2 + 0.0011 = 2.0011

Final Answers:

  • S(10)=3.1S(10) = 3.1
  • S(100)=2.11S(100) = 2.11
  • S(1000)=2.011S(1000) = 2.011
  • S(10000)=2.0011S(10000) = 2.0011
