Here's a tutor who is a bit rusty on this subject. Is there a simple expression for the following sum?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sum%28i%5E2%2Ci=a%2Ca%2B%28n-1%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For example,
\n" ); document.write( "1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + ... + 100....we find these are all squares of 1,2,3 etc..
\n" ); document.write( "so we say
\n" ); document.write( "TN=N^2...PUT N=1,2,3, ..ETC...TO GET SUCCESSIVE TERMS..1^2=1,2^2=4,3^2=9....ETC
\n" ); document.write( "TO SHOW SUM WE SAY FIND SN FOR N=10..THAT IS FROM N=1 TO 10..THAT IS WHAT YOU PUT ABOVE
\n" ); document.write( "OFCOURSE IT IS ALSO REPRESENTED BY WHAT YOU GAVE IN THE BEGINING NAMELY
\n" ); document.write( "SIGMA(N^2)...N RANGING FROM 1 TO 10 OR WHATEVER..FOR THE EXAMPLE YOU GAVE
\n" ); document.write( "1+4+9+16+.....+100...TO PUT A TO A+(N-1)IS NOT CORRECT.YOU SHOULD PUT ONLY N=1 TO N=10
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "25 + 36 + 49
\n" ); document.write( "etc.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thank you very much!
\n" ); document.write( "
