Evaluation of the Sum from 1 to 9 of the Expression 5k + 8

Evaluation of the Sum

The objective is to evaluate the sum given by the notation:

ext{Evaluate the sum }
um{9} imes igg( extstyleigg( extstyleigg( extstyleigg( extstyleigg( extstyleigg( k=1 igg(5k + 8 )\bigg)\bigg))\bigg)\bigg))\bigg)\bigg(5k + 8(5k+8\bigg(5k + 8\bigg))\bigg)\bigg))\bigg)\bigg(5k + 8)\bigg)\bigg)

where the lower limit of the summation is k=1k=1 and the upper limit of the summation is k=9k=9.

Sum Elements Definition

The sum consists of the following linear expression with respect to kk:

  • 5k+85k + 8 where:
    • 5k5k is a linear function that scales kk by a factor of 5,
    • 88 is a constant that shifts the result by 8.

Expanding the Summation

We can express the sum as:

extstyle(5(1)+8extstyle\bigg(5(1) + 8 + 5(2)+85(2) + 8 + 5(3)+85(3) + 8 + … + 5(9)+85(9) + 8\bigg)

Therefore, we rewrite the individual components of the sum as follows:

  • When k=1: 5(1) + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13
  • When k=2: 5(2) + 8 = 10 + 8 = 18
  • When k=3: 5(3) + 8 = 15 + 8 = 23
  • When k=4: 5(4) + 8 = 20 + 8 = 28
  • When k=5: 5(5) + 8 = 25 + 8 = 33
  • When k=6: 5(6) + 8 = 30 + 8 = 38
  • When k=7: 5(7) + 8 = 35 + 8 = 43
  • When k=8: 5(8) + 8 = 40 + 8 = 48
  • When k=9: 5(9) + 8 = 45 + 8 = 53

So, we can compile all computed values for each iteration of k:
ext{Sum} = 13 + 18 + 23 + 28 + 33 + 38 + 43 + 48 + 53

Final Evaluation of the Sum

To compute the overall sum:

  1. Start adding the values together:

    • Sum of first three terms: 13 + 18 + 23 = 54
    • Sum of the next three terms: 28 + 33 + 38 = 99
    • Sum of the last three terms: 43 + 48 + 53 = 144
  2. Now sum these partial results:
    54 + 99 + 144 = 297

Thus, the evaluated sum is:
ext{Total Sum} = 297

Conclusion

Therefore, the evaluated sum of the series defined by the expression is:
