Worksheet On Summation Notation

The document provides examples of using summation notation to represent the sum of terms in an expression. It includes: 1) Writing expressions in expanded form and determining the sum, such as ∑3i=1 = 135. 2) Writing series in summation notation by finding the general term and limits of the summation. 3) Examples show determining the starting term a1, the common difference b between terms, and the general term an in order to write the series using summation notation.

I. Write the following in expanded form then determine the sum. Show all
pertinent solutions.

1.
∑ 3i = 3(1) + 3(2) + 3(3) + 3(4) + 3(5) + 3(6) + 3(7) + 3(8)
i=1
= 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24
= 135

2. ∑ (2 i¿+1)¿ = [2(2) + 1] + [2(3) + 1] + [2(4) + 1] + [2(5) + 1] + [2(6) + 1]


i=2

= 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13
= 45

= [(3)2 - 3] + [(4)2 - 3] + [(5)2 - 3] + [(6)2 - 3] + [(7)2 - 3]
3. ∑ (k ¿−3)¿
k =3 = 6 + 13 + 22 + 33 + 46
= 120

5 = [2(4(2)+1)] + [2(4(3)+1)] + [2(4(4)+1)] + [2(4(5)+1)]


4. ∑ 2(4 n ¿+ 1) ¿ = 18 + 26 + 34 + 42
n =2

= 120

5 = [2(2)2 – 2 + 1] + [2(3)2 – 3 + 1] + [2(4)2 – 4 + 1] + [2(5)2 – 5 + 1]


5. ∑ (2 n2−n+ 1¿ ) ¿ = 7 + 16 + 29 + 46
n =2

= 98
II. Write each series in summation notation. Show the process on how to find
the general term.

a = -2
b = a1 – a an = -2n + 35 10

= 33 – (-2)= 35 a1 = -2(1) + 35
∑ (−2 n+35)
n =1

an = -2n + 35 a1 = 33

3. 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + … + 25
