Question

Which answer represents the series in sigma notation? −7+(−2)+3+8+13 ∑j=15(5j−12) ∑j=15(−8j+1) ∑j=15−5(15)j−1 ∑j=155j−1

Answer 1

(5j-12)

Explanation:

Other person was right, took the test using the answer they gave.

Answer 2

∑j=15(5j−12)

Explanation:

For j = 1 up to j = 5

j = 1

(5j - 12) = (5(1) - 12) = 5 - 12 = - 7

j = 2

(5j - 12) = (5(2) - 12) = 10 - 12 = - 2

j = 3

(5j - 12) = (5(3) - 12) = 15 - 12 = 3

j = 4

(5j - 12) = (5(4) - 12) = 20 - 12 = 8

j = 5

(5j - 12) = (5(5) - 12) = 25 - 12 = 13

(-7 + (-2) + 3 + 8 + 13)
