There are 4 terms in this series
That's because the summation (Sigma) goes from 3 to 6 inclusive. So k takes on values of 3,4,5,6
You could use this summation formula
Formula
Sum = (a + L)n/2
Substitution
a is the first term.
k = 3 for the first term
a = -5k + 20
a = -5(3) + 20
a = -15 + 20
a = 5
For the last term k = 6
L = -5(6) + 20
L = -30 + 20
L = - 10
Sum
Sum = (5 - 10)*4/2
Sum = -5 * 2
Sum = -10

You may wonder how come the last term and the sum are the same. The reason to be found by figuring out the 4 terms and adding them together.
When k = 3, -5k + 20 = -15 + 20 = 5
When k = 4, -5k + 20 = -20 + 20 = 0
When k = 5, -5k + 20 = -25 + 20 = -5
When k = 6, -5k + 20 = -30 + 20 = -10
Sum = 5 + 0 - 5 - 10 = - 10
Conclusion.
It is an accident of the numbers.
Answer: - 10 = the Sum
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function
, we are to find the inverse of the function and this can be done y following the simple steps:
Step 1: Replace y with 

Step 2: Interchange x with y

Step 3: Make y the subject of the formula;

Step 4: Replace y as 

Hence the inverse of the function is 
Volume of a cube: V = s^3, where s is the length of the edge.
So, the sum of them will be 1^3 + 2^3 = 9
