Answer:

-2+1+6+13+22+...=\sum(n^2+2n-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Series in Summation Notation</u>

We must try to find a general formula for each term and then use summation to generalize the sum of all the terms for any value of n, the term number.

The series is

-2+1+6+13+22+...

The difference between consecutive terms will be computed:

a_2-a_1=1-(-2)=3

a_3-a_2=6-1=5

a_4-a_3=13-6=7

We can see that

a_{n+1}-a_n=2n+1

Applying summation on both sides:

\sum [a_{n+1}-a_n]=\sum (2n+1)=\sum 2n+\sum 1

Knowing that

\displaystyle \sum n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}

\sum [a_{n+1}-a_n]=n(n+1)+n=n^2+2n

Similarly, the sum of the left side is found to be

\sum [a_{n+1}-a_n]=a_{n+1}-a_1

Replacing into the above equation, we find

a_{n+1}-a_1=n^2+2n

Solving

a_{n+1}=n^2+2n+a_1=n^2+2n-2

Having the general term, the series is expressed as

-2+1+6+13+22+...=\sum(n^2+2n-2)

For n=0 to infinity

2 12

3 8

5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to substitute ever number on the X side in the equation to get the Y

for example 1 is under x so you will take

y=20-4(1)

y=20-4

y=16
