Q. Evaluate the summation below.2k=4∑9(6−2k)Answer:
Multiply by 2: Write down the expression inside the summation and multiply it by 2 as indicated by the problem.The expression inside the summation is (6−2k), and we need to multiply it by 2, which gives us 2(6−2k)=12−4k.
Apply summation to terms: Apply the summation to each term in the expression 12−4k from k=4 to k=9. We need to sum both 12 and −4k separately over the range of k from 4 to 9.
Evaluate constant term: Evaluate the constant term 12 in the summation.Since 12 is a constant, the summation of 12 from k=4 to k=9 is simply 12 multiplied by the number of terms, which is 9−4+1=6.So, ∑k=4912=12×6=72.
Evaluate variable term: Evaluate the variable term −4k in the summation.We use the formula for the sum of the first nintegers, ∑k=1nk=2n(n+1), but we need to adjust it for the range from 4 to 9.First, find the sum from 1 to 9, then subtract the sum from 1 to 3.∑k=19k=29(9+1)=45.n0.Now subtract the two sums: n1.Finally, multiply by n2 to account for the −4k term: n4.
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 3 and Step 4 to find the total sum.Total sum = sum of constant terms + sum of variable terms = 72−156=−84.
