Find each indicated sum. $\sum_{k = 1}^{5} k (k + 4)$

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the sum notation: you need to find the sum of the expression $k(k+4)$ as $k$ goes from 1 to 5, which is written as $\sum_{k=1}^{5} k(k+4)$.

Expand the expression inside the summation: $k(k+4) = k^2 + 4k$.

Rewrite the sum as the sum of two separate sums: $\sum_{k=1}^{5} (k^2 + 4k) = \sum_{k=1}^{5} k^2 + \sum_{k=1}^{5} 4k$.

Use the properties of summation to factor out constants: $\sum_{k=1}^{5} 4k = 4 \sum_{k=1}^{5} k$.

Calculate each sum separately using formulas: $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$, then substitute $n=5$ and add the results.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Summation Notation (Sigma Notation)

Summation notation uses the Greek letter sigma (Σ) to represent the sum of a sequence of terms. The expression 5Σk=1 means to sum the terms as k goes from 1 to 5. Understanding this notation is essential to correctly evaluate the sum.

Evaluating Polynomial Expressions

Each term in the sum involves evaluating the polynomial k(k+4) for each integer k from 1 to 5. This requires substituting values of k into the expression and simplifying before summing the results.

Properties of Finite Sums

Finite sums can be broken down into sums of simpler expressions, such as sums of k and sums of constants. Using properties like linearity of summation helps simplify calculations by separating and summing individual parts.
