Solving Summation Notation

A summation notation (Σ) is used for sum the numbers or quantities indicated. We can sum all types of numbers such as real, integer, complex, rational numbers using sigma notation. Summation notation is also called as sigma notation. Using summation notation we can solve the problems easily. Summation a concise and convenient way of writing long sums.


I like to share this Fractional Notation with you all through my article.

Solving Summation Notation – Solving Example Problems

Example 1: Find the sum for the given expression and explain the terms of summation notation;

7

∑ (n + 1)3 =?

n=1

Solution:

7

∑ (n + 1)3 =?

n=1

Lower Bound: ‘n’ is the lower bound of the summation notation.

Upper Bound:  ‘7’ is the upper bound of the summation notation.

Formula: (n + 1)3 is the formula to describe the each term of the summation notation.

Start: n = 1, here 1 is indicating the first number of the terms of summation notation. Usually value of start is zero (0) or one (1).

End: 7 is indicating the last umber of the terms of the summation notation.

Index Variable: Index variable ‘n’ is used to labeled each term of summation notation.

7

∑ (n + 1)3 = 8 + 27 + 64 + 125 + 216 + 343 + 512 = 1295

n=1

7

Therefore, ∑ i3 = 1295

i=1

Example 2: Solve and find the sum for the given expression;

6

∑ 3(n + n2) =?

n=1

Solution:

6

∑ 3(n + n2) =?

n=1

Formula: 3(n + n2), starting term: 1, end term: 6, and index variable: n

6

∑ 3(n + n2) / n = 3(1 + 12) + 3(2 + 22) + 3(3 + 32) + 3(4 + 42) + 3(5 + 52) + 3(6 + 62)

i=1


= 3(1 + 1) + 3(2 + 4) + 3(3 + 9) + 3(4 + 16) + 3(5 + 25) + 3(6 + 36)

= 3(2) + 3(6) + 3(12) + 3(20) + 3(30) + 3(42)

= 6 + 18 + 36 + 60 + 90 + 126

= 336

6

Therefore, ∑ 3(n + n2) = 336

i=1

I am planning to write more post on Even Number Definition and Formula for Sample Size. Keep checking my blog.

Example 3: Solve and find the sum for the given expression;

6

∑ n(2n + 1) / 2 =?

n=1

Solution:

6

∑ n(2n + 1) / 2 =?

n=1

Formula: n(2n + 1) / 2, starting term: 1, end term: 6, and index variable: n

6

∑ n(2n + 1) / 2 = (1(2(1) + 1) / 2) + (2(2(2) + 1) / 2) + (3(2(3) + 1) / 2) + (4(2(4) + 1) / 2)

n=1  + (5(2(5) + 1) / 2) + (6(2(6) + 1) / 2)


= (1(3) / 2) + (2(5) / 2) + (3(7) / 2) + (4(9) / 2) + (5(11) / 2) + (6(13) / 2)

= (3 / 2) + (10 / 2) + (21 / 2) + (36 / 2) + (55 / 2) + (78 / 2)

= 1.5 + 5 + 10.5 + 18 + 27.5 + 39

= 101.5

6

Therefore, ∑ n(2n + 1) / 2 = 101.5

n=1

Define Expanded Form

Expanded Form is a method to break up a number to illustrate how much each digit in the number represents and in other words, expanded form is the method of pulling a number separately and expressing it as a sum of the values of every digit. In this article we study about expand form define of and develop the knowldge of the math .

Example on Define Expanded Form

Choose the expanded form of the number 15,793.

Solution:

The expanded form of the number 15,793 can be found using a place value chart.

Now, let’s aim to write the number in words and define how it helps us identify the expanded form.

The number 15,793 is read as: 15 thousands 7 hundreds 93 which is the same as 1 ten thousand  5 thousands 7 hundreds 9 tens and 3 ones.

So, the expanded form of 15,793 is 10,000 + 5,000 + 700 + 90 + 3.

Looking out for more help on Expanded Form Decimals in algebra by visiting listed websites.

Example to Define Expand Form Math:

Example 1:

57  can be expand as 57 = 50 + 7.

226 can be expand as 296 = 200 + 20 + 6.

5467 can be expand as 5467 = 5000 + 400 + 60+7.

89192 can be expand as 89192 = 80000 + 9000 + 100+90+2

Example 2:

What will we get when we expand form 23,368?

Choices:
A. 2 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 3 hundreds, 6 tens, and 8 ones
B. 2 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 6 hundreds, 6 tens, and 7 ones
C. 5 thousands, 5 ten thousands, 6 hundreds, 6 tens, and 8 ones
D. 5 thousands, 8 hundreds, 3 tens, and 68 ones

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Step 1: 23,368 = 20,000 + 3,000 + 300 + 60 + 8
Step 2: = (2 × 10,000) + (3 × 1,000) + (3 × 100) + (6 × 10) + (8 × 1)
Step 3: So, when we expand 23,368, we will get ‘2 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 3 hundreds, 6 tens, and 8 ones’.

Example 3:

What will we get when we expand form 13,369?

Choices:
A. 1 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 3 hundreds, 6 tens, and 9 ones
B. 2 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 3 hundreds, 6 tens, and 5 ones
C. 3 thousands, 7 ten thousands, 9 hundreds, 6 tens, and 9 ones
D. 4 thousands, 7 hundreds, 9 tens, and 68 ones

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Step 1: 13,369 = 10,000 + 3,000 + 300 + 60 + 9
Step 2: = (1 × 10,000) + (3× 1,000) + (3 × 100) + (6 × 10) + (9 × 1)
Step 3: So, when we expand 13,368, we will get ‘1 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 3 hundreds, 6 tens, and 9 ones’.

Systematic Sampling Method

In this article, let us study what is sampling and the types of sampling.

Preliminary concepts of sampling:

In testing the quality of bulbs produced, by a company it is impossible to test every bub manufactured by a company; it is quite sufficient if a sample is taken for testing and based on this test it is possible to draw conclusion about the population. If each and every item is tested, in some cases it may not be possible to send them to the market. thus, process of sampling is to get information about the population from the sample. To the extent to which we can do this with any accuracy depends on the choice of our sample or samples.

Samples are classified as follows:

non-probability samples

probability samples

Some non -probability samples  are 1. deliberate sampling , 2. Quota sampling 3. Block sampling.

Some probability samples  are1. Random sampling , 2. Stratified sampling , 3. Systematic sampling , 4. Multi stage sampling
What is Systematic Sampling

Systematic sampling with a random beginning is a form of restricted random sampling which is highly useful in surveys concerning enumerable population. In this method, every member of the population is numbered in a serial order and every ith element, starting from any of the first i items is chosen.

My forthcoming post is on  Common Graphs will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Example for Systematic Sampling:

Suppose we require 5% sample of students from a college where there are 2000 students and where everyone is given a departmental number from 1 to 2000, we should first select one number at random from 1 to 20. Suppose the number chosen is 12; then our sample consists of students with departmental numbers 12, 32, 52, 72,..1992

If, however, the students are arranged in groups of 20 such that the first student belongs to the first of 20 specified communities, the second to a second community and so on, then our sample may consist of students of all belonging to the same community and consequently we cannot consider the sample to be random

Integral of ln u

Integral calculus is a branch of calculus that deals with integration. If f is a function of real variable x, then the definite integral is given by

int_a^bf(x)dx

Where a and b are intervals of a real line.

Integral of ln u means integration of natural logarithmic (ln) function with respect to the variable ' u '. In this article, we are going to see the list of natural logarithmic integral (ln) rules with few example problems.
List of Natural Logarithmic (ln) Integral Rules:

int 1/u dx = ln |u| + C

int  ln u du = uln u  - u + C

int uln u du = (u^2)/2 ln u  - 1/4 u2 + C

int u2 ln u du = (u^3)/3 ln u - 1/9 u3 + C

int (ln u)2 du = u(ln u)2 - 2uln u + 2u + C

int ((ln u)^n)/u dx = 1/(n + 1) (ln u)n+1 + C

int  (du)/(uln u) = ln (ln u) + C

Learning Natural Logarithmic (ln) Integral Rules with Example Problems:

Example problem 1:

Integrate the function f(u) = 5/u

Solution:

Step 1: Given function

f(u) = 5/u

int f(u) du = int5/u du

Step 2: Integrate the given function f(u) = 5/u with respect to ' u',

int5/u du = 5ln (u)+ C

Example problem 2:

Integrate the function f(u) = log (9u)

Solution:

Step 1: Given function

f(u) = log (9u)

int f(u) du = intlog (9u) du

Step 2: Integrate the given function  with respect to ' u' using integration by parts,

Let x = log (9u)    dv = du

dx = 1/u  du         v = u

int x dv = xv - int v dx

int log (9u) du = ulog (9u) - int u 1/u du

= ulog (9u) - int du

= ulog(9u) - u + C

My forthcoming post is on Mean Median Mode Calculator and Finding Interquartile Range will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Example problem 3:

Integrate the function f(u) = 10log (3u)

Solution:

Step 1: Given function

f(u) = 10log (3u)

int f(u) du = int10log (3u) du

The above function can be written as

int f(u) du = 10intlog (3u) du

Step 2: Integrate the given function  with respect to ' u' using integration by parts,

Let u = log (3u)    dv = du

du = 1/u  du         v = u

int x dv = xv - int v dx

10 int log (3u) du = 10[ulog (3u) - int u 1/u du]

= 10ulog (3u) - 10int du

= 10ulog(3u) - 10u + C

Equilateral Pentagon Angles

In geometry an equilateral pentagon is a polygon with five sides of equal length. Its five internal angles, in turn, can take several values, thus permitting to form a family of pentagons. In contrast, the regular pentagon is unique, because is equilateral but at the same time its five angles are equal. Four intersecting equal circles disposed in a closed chain, are sufficient to describe an equilateral pentagon. ( Source Wikipedia )

Distance Formula Proof

For distance formula proof statistics will be deals with the co-ordinates parameters.Formula for distance calculation by the co ordinates of the points given. For calculating distance statistics between the points we have the distance formula proof and we substitute the points in that formula we find the distance between the points.In this article we have the distance formula proof and the problems using the distance formula.
Distance Formula Proof:
Distance between two points co ordinates is a basic concept in geometry.Now, we give an algebraic expression for the same.

Let P1  (x1, y1) and P2 (x2, y2) be two points in a Cartesian plane and denotes the distance between P1 and P2 by d(P1, P2) or  by  P1P2. Draw the line segment ` bar(P_1P_2)`

distance formula proof

The segment ` bar(P_1P_2)` is parallel to the x axis  Then y1 = y2. Draw P1 L and P2 M, perpendicular to the x-axis. Then d(P1,P2) is equal to the distance between L and M. But L is (x1, 0) and M is (x2, 0).

So the length LM = |x1-x2| Hence d (P1, P2) = |x1-x2|.

therefore, [d(P1,P2)]2= |x1-x2|2+ |y1-y2|2

=(x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2

=(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2
d(P1,P2) = `sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Problems Using Distance Formula Proof:
Example 1:
Find the distance between the points A(-2,3) and B(3,7).

Solution:
Assume d be the distance between A and B.             (x1,y1) = (-2,3)

Then d (A, B) =`sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) `                   (x2,y2) =  (3,7).

=`sqrt((3+2)^2 +(7-3)^2)`

=`sqrt(5^2+4^2)`

=`sqrt(25+16)`

=`sqrt41`
Example 2:
Find the distance between the points A(-1,1) and B (3,3).

Solution:
Assume d be the distance between A and B.                (x1,y1)= (-1,1)

Then d (A, B) =`sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) `                                (x2-y2)= (3,3).

=`sqrt((3+1)^2 +(3-1)^2)`

=`sqrt(4^2+(2)^2)`

=`sqrt(16+4)`

=`sqrt20`
=2`sqrt 5`

I am planning to write more post on Equivalence Relations. Keep checking my blog.

Example 3:
Find the co ordinates distance between the points A(-1,5) and B (1, 4).

Solution:
Assume d be the distance between A and B.                       (x1,y1)= (-1,5)

Then d (A, B) = `sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) `                          (x2-y2)= (1,4).

=`sqrt((1+1)^2 +(4-5)^2)`

= `sqrt(2^2+(-1)^2)`

=`sqrt(4+1)`
=`sqrt5`

Multiply Formula

In this article we are going see about how to multiply the two variables and numbers. Multiplication is the process of find the product of the given values. We use the distributive formula for finding the multiplication values. Multiplication formulas are reducing the man power and easy for calculation. Now in this article we solve some problems using multiplying formula.

Please express your views of this topic Multiply Fraction by commenting on blog.

Distributive formula:

a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c)

x * (y * z) = (x * y * z)
Example Problems for Multiply Formula

Multiply formula example problem 1:

Multiply the given two function f(x) = (2x + 4) and g(x) = (6x - 2)

Solution:

Given functions are f(x) = (2x + 4) and g(x) = (6x - 2)

Add each and every variables of the given two functions, we get

f(x) * g(x) = (2x + 4) * (6x - 2)

Using distributive property,

= 2x (6x - 2) + 4 (6x - 2)

Expand the above values, we get

= 12x2 - 4x + 24x - 8

After simplification, we get

f(x) * g(x) = 12x2 + 20x - 8

Answer:

The final multiplication value of the given function is 12x2 + 20x - 8

Solution:

Given functions are f(x) = (10x + 3) and g(x) = (x - 3)

Add each and every variables of the given two functions, we get

f(x) * g(x) = (10x + 3) * (x - 3)

Using distributive property,

= 10x (x - 3) + 3 (x - 3)

Expand the above values, we get

= 10x2 - 30x + 3x - 9

After simplification, we get

f(x) * g(x) = 10x2 - 27x - 9

Answer:

The final multiplication value of the given function is 10x2 - 27x - 9

Using distributive property,

= 3x2 (x + 2) + 1 (x + 2)

Expand the above values, we get

= 3x3 + 6x2 + x + 2

After simplification, we get

f(x) * g(x) = 3x3 + 6x2 + x + 2

Answer:
