Q. Find the numerical answer to the summation given below.n=2∑86(5n+6)Answer:
Split Summation: Recognize that the summation of the series can be split into two separate summations: the summation of 5n from n=2 to n=86 and the summation of 6 from n=2 to n=86. This can be written as ∑n=286(5n)+∑n=286(6).
Calculate Arithmetic Series: Calculate the first part of the summation, ∑n=286(5n). This is an arithmetic series where each term is 5 times n. The sum of an arithmetic series can be found using the formula S=2n×(a1+an), where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term, and an is the last term. First, we need to find the number of terms in the series, which is 86−2+1=85. The first term when n=2 is 5×2=10, and the last term when 50 is 51. Now we can calculate the sum: 52.
Calculate Constant Series: Perform the calculation from Step 2. S=285×440=85×220=18700. This is the sum of the first part of the series.
Add Results: Calculate the second part of the summation, ∑n=286(6). This is a constant series where each term is 6. The sum of a constant series is simply the constant times the number of terms. We already found the number of terms to be 85 in Step 2. So the sum is 85×6.
Calculate Total Sum: Perform the calculation from Step 4. The sum is 85×6=510. This is the sum of the second part of the series.
Verify Calculations: Add the results from Step 3 and Step 5 to find the total sum of the series. The total sum is 18700+510=19210.
Verify Calculations: Add the results from Step 3 and Step 5 to find the total sum of the series. The total sum is 18700+510=19210.Verify the calculations to ensure there are no math errors. Rechecking the arithmetic and the application of formulas confirms that the calculations are correct.
