Question

Help , please how to solve this?

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Sum the terms (x - 2) for x = 2 to 5 then square the result

[ (2 - 2) + (3 - 2) + (4 - 2) + (5 - 2) ]²

= ( 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 )²

= (6)²

= 36

Answer 2

36

Explanation:

Work out the terms inside the parenthesis from x = 2 to x = 5. Hint: there will be 4 terms.

x = 2 ---> 0

x = 3 ---> 1

x = 4 ---> 2

x = 5 ---> 3

The sigma symbol means that you have to add them all up so the sum is 6. Therefore,

(6)^2 = 36
