Write Series to Sum: Write down the series that needs to be summed.The series is given by ∑n=04(−5x−5n).
Evaluate Series Terms: Evaluate the series by plugging in the values of n from 0 to 4 and adding the terms.n=0∑4(−5x−5n)=(−5x−5⋅0)+(−5x−5⋅1)+(−5x−5⋅2)+(−5x−5⋅3)+(−5x−5⋅4)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by performing the multiplication and addition.=(−5x−0)+(−5x−5)+(−5x−10)+(−5x−15)+(−5x−20)=−5x+−5x+−5x+−5x+−5x−0−5−10−15−20
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.=−5x×5−(0+5+10+15+20)=−25x−(0+5+10+15+20)
Calculate Sum of Constants: Calculate the sum of the constants. 0+5+10+15+20=50
Substitute Constants: Substitute the sum of the constants back into the expression.=−25x−50
Final Simplified Expression: The final simplified expression represents the sum of the series. The sum of the series from n=0 to n=4 is −25x−50.
