Let $S = \sum_{k=0}^{10} (k+3)(k-3)2^k = \sum_{k=0}^{10} (k^2 - 9)2^k$.
\n" ); document.write( "We can split the sum into two parts:
\n" ); document.write( "$S = \sum_{k=0}^{10} k^2 2^k - 9 \sum_{k=0}^{10} 2^k$.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, let's evaluate $\sum_{k=0}^{10} 2^k$. This is a geometric series with $a=1$, $r=2$, and $n=11$ terms.
