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
Answer:
Look down!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Since two points determine any line, we can graph lines using the x- and y-intercepts. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y. This method of finding x- and y-intercepts will be used throughout our study of algebra because it works for any equation.
Ex.
4=2+2
y=4
x=2

Answer:
1/3, 3/8 are closer to 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 3) × (x + 4) = 0, that is
(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0
The zero product indicates that (x - 3) = 0 or (x + 4) = 0
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
Thus if x = 3, then
(3 - 3)(x + 4) = 0 × (x + 4) = 0
Similarly if x = - 4 the output is zero
