Evaluate the series shown. then write an equivalent series using summation notation such that the lower index starts at 0. ∑^3 n=1 2(n+5) fast

The summation indicates the sum from n = 1 to n = 3 of the expression 2(n+5).

2 (n+5) = 2n + 10

2n + 10 denotes an Arithmetic Series, with a common difference of two and first term as 12.

For n =1, it equals 12
For n = 2, it equals 14
For n = 3, it equals 16

So the sum from n=1 to n=3 will be 12 + 14 + 16 = 42

Sum of an Arithmetic Series can also be written as:



Using the value of a₁ and d, we can simplify the expression as:



This expression is equivalent to the given expression and will yield the same result.

For n=3, we get the sum as:

S₃ = 3(11+3) = 42

The answer would be 13.5 minutes.
