From the first thing we learned to the last thing we learned, its funny that the first and last are 2 of my favorites. I liked doing sigmas, it was easy and I like getting visual pictures of things.
A sigma is a series written in condensed form. There are all kinds of things you can do with sigmas but I like to keep it simple and find things in the sigma such as limits of summation, summand, and index.
Limits of Summation: the numbers in the sigma
Summand: is f(x) or y
index: is the variable
*Ill use Z as my sigma for now.
8
Z 5r
r= 1
Find the summand? 5r is the summand
What is the index?r
What are the limits of summation? 8 and 1
Evaluate the Sigma? 5+10+15+20+25+30+35+40=180; 5*1 + 5*2 + 5*3 + 5*4 + 5*5 + 5*6 + 5*7 + 5*8=180
