Q. Evaluate the summation below.k=2∑5(−4k+2k2)Answer:
Set up the problem: Understand the summation expression and set up the problem.We need to evaluate the sum of the expression (−4k+2k2) for each integer value of k from 2 to 5.
Calculate for k=2: Calculate the sum for k=2.Substitute k=2 into the expression (−4k+2k2) to get the first term of the summation.First term = −4(2)+2(2)2=−8+8=0.
Calculate for k=3: Calculate the sum for k=3.Substitute k=3 into the expression (−4k+2k2) to get the second term of the summation.Second term = −4(3)+2(3)2=−12+18=6.
Calculate for k=4: Calculate the sum for k=4.Substitute k=4 into the expression (−4k+2k2) to get the third term of the summation.Third term = −4(4)+2(4)2=−16+32=16.
Calculate for k=5: Calculate the sum for k=5. Substitute k=5 into the expression (−4k+2k2) to get the fourth term of the summation. Fourth term = −4(5)+2(5)2=−20+50=30.
Find total sum: Add all the terms together to find the total sum.Total sum = First term + Second term + Third term + Fourth term = 0+6+16+30=52.
