  • n=[3,8]

So


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \sum^8_(n=3)5n


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 5(3)+5(4)+5(5)+5(6)+5(7)+5(8)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 15+20+25+30+35+40


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 165

Answer:

165

Explanation:

The symbol
\sum is used to denote a sum of multiple terms.

The number below
\sum is the first term.

The number above
\sum is the last term.

Each term can be determined by using the given equation.


\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \sum_(n=3)^(8)5n & =5(3)+5(4)+5(5)+5(6)+5(7)+5(8)\\ & = 5(3+4+5+6+7+8)\\ & =5(33)\\ & = 165\end{aligned}
