It is obtained by substituting the formula for the general. So either way, these are legitimate ways of expressing this arithmetic series in using sigma notation. There is another formula that is sometimes used for the nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence. ![]() Two times 199 is 398 plus seven is indeed 405. When k is equal to 200, this is going to be 200 And so how many total termsĪre we going to have here? Well, one way to think about is I just shifted the indices up by one so we're going to goįrom k equals one to 200. Two, the second term, we're going to add two one time because two minus one is two so that gives us that one. Notice, the first term works out because we're not adding two at all so one minus one is equal to zero so you're just going to get seven. Going to be the first term is going to be seven plus two times k minus one, times k minus one. Another way, we could also write it as, let me do this in a different color, we could, if we want to start our index at k is equal to one then let's see, it's So that's one way that we could write it. Two times 199 which is 398 which would be 405. And all the way when k is equal to 199, it's going to be seven plus Using Summation Notation partial sum of a series is the sum of a finite number of consecutive terms beginning with the first term. When k is equal to two, it's going to be seven plus The difference of the sequence is constant and equals the difference between two consecutive terms. This is going to be, we could write it as Find the common difference by subtracting any term in the sequence from the term that comes after it. Haven't added two at all, all the way to when we add two 199 times. Us adding two zero times, the number seven is when we Many times we've added two so we could start with So this is going be a sum, a sum from, so there's a couple of ways One, adding two times two and here, we're adding two times 199 to our original seven. So we're essentially adding two 199 times. We have 398 is equal to two x or let's see, divide both sides by two and we get this is going to be what? 199? 199 is equal to x. To seven to get to 405? And so that is going toīe equal to, let's see, so we subtract seven from both sides. I'm just trying toįigure out how many times do I have to add two So if we wanted 405 is equal to seven plus two times, I'll just write two times x. So 405 is seven plus two times what? So let me write this down. So let's think about how many times we are going to add two to get to 200, sorry, how many times we have So we add two and then we add two again and we're going to keep adding two all the way until we get to 405. It looks like we're adding two every time so it looks like this Then we're going to nine and then we're going to 11. Happens at each successive term? So we're at seven and So first, let's just thinkĪbout what's going on here. We have seven plus nine plus 11 and we keep on addingĪll the way up to 405. ![]() Series in sigma notation and I have a series inįront of us right over here. ![]() Want to do in this video is get some practice writing
