Question

Arrange the summation expressions in increasing order of their values.

Answer 1

624, 1023, 35, and 156. So clearly, 1023 > 624 > 156 > 35. W can write it as (your answer):

Answer 2

∑ 4 * 5^(i-1) = 4 + 20 + 100 + 500 = 624
∑ 3 * 4^(i-1) = 3 + 12 + 48 + 192 + 768 = 1,023
∑ 5*  6^(i-1) = 5 + 30 = 35
∑ 5^(i-1) = 1 + 5 + 25 + 125 = 156
Answer:
∑ (i=1, 2) 5 * 6^(i-1) < ∑ (i=1, 4) 5^(i-1) < ∑ (i=1, 4) 4 * 5^(i-1) <
< ∑ (i=1, 5) 3 * 4^(i-1)
