Chapter 4: Q. 35 (page 326)

Find a formula for each of the sums in Exercises 35, and then use these formulas to calculate each sum for $n = 100, n = 500$ and $n = 1000$ .
${鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} (3 - k)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sum is $\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 n - n^{2}}{2} \end{array}$ .

The sum when $n = 100$ is $- 4750$ .

The sum when $n = 500$ is $- 123750$ .

The sum when $n = 1000$ is $- 497500$ .

Step by step solution

Given information

The given summation is ${鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} (3 - k)$ .

Determine the formula for the given summation.

The sum can be written as:

$\begin{array}{rcl} {鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} (3 - k) & = & 3 {鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} 1 - {鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} k \\ = & 3 n - \frac{n (n + 1)}{2} [{鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} k = \frac{n (n + 1)}{2} and {鈭�}_{k = 1}^{n} 1 = n] \\ = & \frac{6 n - n^{2} - n}{2} \\ = & \frac{5 n - n^{2}}{2} \end{array}$

Evaluate the sum for n=100, n=500 and n=1000.

Substitute $100$ for $n$ in $\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 n - n^{2}}{2} \end{array}$ .

role="math" localid="1649054354093" $\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 (100) - {(100)}^{2}}{2} & = & \frac{500 - 10000}{2} \\ = & \frac{- 9500}{2} \\ = & - 4750 \end{array}$

Substitute $500$ for $n$ in $\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 n - n^{2}}{2} \end{array}$ .

$\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 (500) - {(500)}^{2}}{2} & = & \frac{2500 - 250000}{2} \\ = & - 123750 \end{array}$

Substitute $1000$ for $n$ in $\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 n - n^{2}}{2} \end{array}$ .

$\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 (1000) - {(1000)}^{2}}{2} & = & \frac{5000 - 1000000}{2} \\ = & - 497500 \end{array}$

Write the conclusion

The formula is $\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{5 n - n^{2}}{2} \end{array}$ .

The sum when $n = 100, 500$ and $1000$ is $- 4750, - 123750$ and $- 497500$ .
