Help finding the sum

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

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The height of the pool = 0.292 m

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right rectangular prism;

V = w*h*l

where; length (l) = 30 m

width (w) = 8 m

The volume v = 70 m

Thus; from V = w*h*l

The height of the pool = \dfrac{V}{wl}

The height of the pool = \dfrac{70}{30*8}

The height of the pool = 0.292 m
