4
 ∑ [100(−4)n−1]
n=1

Once again, since this is summation notation:

Start at the number on the bottom. Plug in that number to the equation on the right, plug in the next number into the equation on the right, and so on, until you get to the number on top. Plug in that final number, and after you get the solution, add all the solutions you have all together.

One thing though: the bottom number cannot be bigger than the number on top.

n=1; 100 x (-4) x (1) - 1 = -401
n=2; 100 x (-4) x (2) - 1 = -801
n=3; 100 x (-4) x (3) - 1 = -12001
n=4; 100 x (-4) x (4) - 1 = - 16001

-401-801-12001-16001 = -29204

Step-by-step explanation:

Each digit goes in the place corresponding to its place value.

When no digit has a given place value, a placeholder is used. That is the purpose of zero, a great invention in the history of mathematics. It makes place-value number systems possible.
