It is asking you to find the sum of k^2 - 1 from k=1 to k=4. Since that is only 4 numbers, calculating the sum by hand wouldn’t be that bad.
(1^2 - 1) + (2^2 - 1) + (3^2 - 1) + (4^2 - 1) = 26
The easier way to find the sum is to use a few simple formulas.
When we have a term that is just a constant c, the formula is c*n.
When we have a variable k, the formula is k*n*(n+1)/2.
When we have a squared variable, the formula is k*n*(n+1)*(2n+1)/6.
In this case, we have a squared variable k^2 and a constant of -1.
So plug in n=4 to the formulas:
4*5*9/6 - 1*4 = 26
The answer is 26
I think this system is consistent and dependent

which math question
u didnt provide any
Step-by-step explanation:
1675/3890 you are dividing 1675 by 3890 so it equals 0.43059...=0.4 simplified to the first decimal
Answer:
-68 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First, solve each parenthesis
(-21 x 3) = -63
(15/-3) = -5
Next, add
(-63) + (-5) = -63 - 5 = -68
-68 is your answer
