Answer:
The sum of the series is 44.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sigma notation. I just had a test on this, so this is pretty good timing.
Below the sigma, we see that k = 1. This means that 1 is the number you would substitute for k into the expression on the right to get the first term. In this case, the first term is -2. (2(1)² - 4)
Now, we can also find out the number of terms in the series by subtracting 1 (taken from k = 1) from the number on top of the sigma, 4, and then adding 1 to it.
4 - 1 + 1 = 4. This means there are 4 terms in the series.
See the remaining work in the attached file. You should get that the sum of the series is 44.
Hope this helps!

From my own solution, my answer is closest to D<span>. 1951 yd; 27°

In it I divided the big triangle into two small right triangles.
I solved for the common leg of the right triangles by using sin theta formula. sin </span>θ = opposite / hypotenuse
<span>
sin 35</span>° = opposite / 1538 yd
<span>sin 35</span>° * 1538 yd = opposite
<span>882.16 yd = opposite
From there, I used the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing side which is part of the 3,000 yd measure.
I got the measure of 1,259.86 yards. The remaining measure of 1,740.14 is the side of the other right triangle.
Still using Pythagorean Theorem, I used the measurement of the known side of the 2nd right triangle to solve for its hypotenuse which was 1,950.97 or 1,951 yards.
With regards to the angle of depression, I used this formula:
tan(y) = opposite / adjacent
tan(y) = 1538 yd / 3000 yd
tan(y) = 0.513
y = 0.513/tan
y = 27.14</span>°<span>
