Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

We have


$\sum_(x=8)^(4)x^2 + 9\left((\cos^2(\infty))/(\sin^2(\infty)) \right)$

For the sum it is not correct to assume


$\sum_(x=8)^(4)x^2= 8^2 + 7^2+6^2+5^2+4^2 = 64+49+36+25+16 = 190$

Note that for


$\sum_(x=a)^b f(x)$

it is assumed
a\leq x \leq b and in your case
\\exists x\in\mathbb{Z}: a\leq x\leq b for
a>b

In fact, considering a set
S we have


$\sum_(x=a)^b (S \cup \varnothing) = \sum_(x=a)^b S + \sum_(x=a)^b \varnothing $ that satisfy
S = S \cup \varnothing

This means that, by definition
\sum_(x=a)^b \varnothing = 0

Therefore,


$\sum_(x=8)^(4)x^2 = 0$

because the sum is empty.

For


9\left((\cos^2(\infty))/(\sin^2(\infty)) \right)

we have other problems. Actually, this case is really bad.

Note that
\cos^2(\infty) has no value. In fact, if we consider for the case


$\lim_(x \to \infty) \cos^2(x)$, the cosine function oscillates between
[-1, 1] , and therefore it is undefined. Thus, we cannot evaluate


9\left((\cos^2(\infty))/(\sin^2(\infty)) \right)

and then


$\sum_(x=8)^(4)x^2 + 9\left((\cos^2(\infty))/(\sin^2(\infty)) \right)$

has no solution
