Question

Which represents the series in sigma notation? -5+(-1)+3+7+11

Answer 1

The answer is c or the third option. If we start at one we get (4(1)-9)=-5, then we can do 2 and we get (4(2)-9)=-1. Lets do 3 (4(3)-9)=3. Now 4 (4(4)-9)=7. Now 5 and our last one (4(5)-9)=11. Now notice we get -5+-1+3+7+11.
