The video tackles more complex series, such as 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5, and how to express them using Sigma notation. The pattern of numerators and denominators is identified, and the series is rewritten using summation. Another example is provided for the series 1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n², showing how to recognize patterns and apply Sigma notation. A complex alternating series (1, -3, 5, -7) is also covered, detailing the process of using Sigma notation to express the series with alternating signs and specific patterns in the terms.

Keywords

💡Series

A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence. It is a key concept in the video as it forms the basis for understanding finite and infinite series. For example, in the script, the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 becomes a series when summed.

💡Finite Series

A finite series, also known as a partial sum, is a series that has a definite number of terms. The video explains that the finite series ends at a specific term, such as the sum of the first six terms of a sequence.

💡Infinite Series

An infinite series is the sum of all terms in a sequence that continues indefinitely. The video highlights this by describing how an infinite sequence can be summed continuously, like "a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + \cdots".

💡Sigma Notation

Sigma notation is a concise way of expressing the sum of a series using the Greek letter Sigma (Σ). It simplifies the process of summing series and is demonstrated in the video with examples like the summation of "3k" for "k = 1" to "k = 4".

💡Partial Sum

A partial sum is the sum of the first n terms of a sequence. The video describes it as a way to calculate the sum of a finite series, illustrated with sequences like 1, 3, 6, 10, 15 and their respective sums.

💡Sequence

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers. The video explains that a series is formed by summing the terms of a sequence, such as the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.

💡Summation

Summation is the process of adding a sequence of numbers. In the video, it is frequently referred to in the context of summing the terms of a sequence or series using sigma notation.

💡Terms

Terms are the individual elements or numbers in a sequence or series. The video explains how terms are summed to form series and provides examples like the terms 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11.

hi Monica wama in this video we will

define series finite series and infinite

series we will also express a series in

Sigma notation so first what is a series

a series is the sum of the terms of a

sequence so again I'm series ito yung

some nominal terms given an sequence so

Marin consequence begin add not

in China in teen atomic Nattie series so

halimbawa I have here 1 3 5 7 9 and 11

this is just a sequence pair of a pug in

AD not in Shaa Italian anti-natal Wagner

in series so young-sam yeah that is

there that is an example of series okay

I have here a sub six so since Y ni6 so

FX a be hand we will get the sum of the

first six terms so it's a one three five

seven nine at eleven kakuni not in

young-sam Neela since atonium Annina a

first six terms nothing off a bucket

first six terms kasam malaga ito i6 as S

sub six

alright an infinite series is the sum of

the terms of a sub 1 plus a sub 2 and so

on and so forth so forma Poppins in

nofap ignorant 'young infinite sequence

then madinat and a infinite series next

a finite series also called partial sum

so a tournament packs in a be nominating

partial sum or finite sea

Conan ad Newsome no sequence not enemy

room ending

okay so cappuccino Honiton young son and

finite sequence finite series and dog

not in done in the sequence 1 3 6 10 15

we have the following partial sums so

halimbawa i have a sub 1 so I'm first

I'm not in a 1 the first term of the

sequence a sub dweeb exhibition 1 plus 3

equals 4 y 1 plus 3 because this is the

sum of the first two terms as a 3 we

have 1 plus 3 plus 6 equals 10 because

this is the sum of the first three terms

so4 1 plus 3 plus 6 plus 10 is equal to

20 the sum of the first four terms and s

of 5 we have 1 plus 3 plus 6 plus 10

plus 15 is equal to 35 because that is

the sum of the first 5 terms so

depending on illuminance S sub 3 so

first three terms as sub 4 first four

terms another example as sub two ibig

sabihin

the sum of the first two terms on a

young fresh two terms not n we have 5

and 15 so therefore we will have pi plus

15 that is 20 s of 4 is equal to the sum

of the first four terms you Munim Appa

so S sub 4 we have 5 plus 15 plus 25

plus 35 and that is 80 another example

as a poor so we will get the sum of the

first four terms so we have

- negative 6:18 and negative 54 so we

will now have two plus negative six plus

18 plus negative 54 and that is equal to

negative 40 s sub 6 is the sum of the

first six terms so we will know how it's

a salmon anathan see 162 and negative

486 so we will have 2 plus negative 6

plus 18 plus negative 54 plus 160 2 plus

negative 486 and that is equal to

negative 364 so Gannon lamb

all right Sigma notation what is Sigma

notation a toy Emperor and unpack sulit

natin man series so since i'm gonnago

one attends a series I in ad not inches

and a hat Latin terms therefore we can

make use of summation notation or Sigma

notation

n-nobody tour this is the Greek letter

so parish and letter e nothing at about

nothing Sigma which tells us the sum or

add up the terms of a pagina gamete net

income symbol Neto shy inaccessible now

we need to add all the terms

okay so atrium concise way of expressing

a series so Anna battle open Abishag

inugami so the summation of three times

key starts with a taeyeon so a token at

o-18 tina tavad nadine index of

summation packs in a be nothing index

gentile maxi Simula orient in atomic

nothing lower limit so young kein Ayin

young young number come santa yo maxi

similar max substitute the once at a

time scale so halimbawa that is k is

equal to 1 so I'm gonna nothing gagawin

3 times 1 ok come sir anti Yamata tapas

Union

young Andaman Shyam and Gentile Matata

paws are you Tina tawa did nothing upper

limit so hidimba wa n is equal to for a

big Sabean Matata post is a three times

four so come on chemo is equal to 1 and

your n is equal to 4 therefore and McGee

ging Sammy summation mu I 3 times 1 plus

3 times 2 plus 3 times 3 plus 3 times 4

so meta kappa Spicer for Casilla n mo i

for okay now hindi l'm locking key and

inna gamut nothing symbol weather in

tango muhammad nam i weather in j so

fight a new letter pero a model a schema

gamete i I J or K ok let us try to

express each Psalm using Sigma notation

so give the new series and nothing shall

express using Sigma notation so

halimbawa marina hadith on 1 plus 1/2

plus 1/3 plus 1/4 plus 1/5 so Buffett

ganito and summation notation so again

ding-ding Yahoo under your pattern since

you given that in a series in a fraction

form therefore fraction form brain cha

ok now Buffett 1 and Allah gave us a

task as he put one on the pop and Cena

tense at a school when Eunice a

numerator now it on key bucket key

atonium key concern Malala Manhattan

cumson maxi see mullah Atkinson Matata

pause so Kayla delegate not engine oh

there one can say all of the numerators

I won UK since a by Bashar km ill allah

gave methane at veto not in Alana

Jenkinson maxi similar okay now we all

know that one item 1 and denominator

Union I won so epic Sabine's r1 shinnok

similar at NAPA Oh scheisse fine okay

so he didn't go so

is one soon Atlanta is a pattern since

the numerator not in a 1 and then UK

Gentile Maga assign come son Max is

Ebola at Matata pose so next touches a

one again chesa 5 so this is now our

summation notation for da given series

next so I have here 1 squared plus 2

squared plus three squared plus and

squared okay so I know gotta be nothing

so look at the pattern I'm partnering at

in so it okay gentlemen assign comes and

maxi similar Atkinson Matata pose so a

delegate not in K and then since my

square jaw so I'm simple not in yo and I

K squared okay honking at us and that

insha'Allah a guy

so since next in Malaysia so 1i n sy

Bacall Yamuna Sabah back on son come

axis Imola and then sunshine at a post

since wallet I am Number John ensure so

n and illaallah game at engine hey

so next arch is a 1 again chess again

this is our symbol next okay I have here

1 plus negative 3 plus 5 plus negative 7

ok so much of complicated data Noah

perros again it proved not and Buffett

at all so funny not in summation

notation attend at a summation notation

so next arches are one neg inches of war

so max a substitute is Imola 1 hung them

for cousin came at in a1 and you mess at

us not in eye for so let us pray to

substitute from 1 to 4 so a Tanisha

negative 1 raise to K plus 1 times 2 K

minus 1 so a substitute not in C 1 cos

ASA be dito ka is equal to 1 MUX type

note is a 1 so substitute nothing see

once among a key so Maggie game 1 plus 1

and adding exponent and then you took a

nut in Maggie

2 times 1 so let us all Maggie negative

1 raise to 2 and then 2 times 1 that

will become 2 and

and bring down minus one so we will have

negative one squared is positive 1 and

then 2 minus 1 that is also positive 1

so 1 times 1 is equal to 1 check not n

okay that is our first term next let's

try to substitute to NASA tuple entire

so my gigging yum K + 1 hat in McGinn 2

+ 1 u - k not in McGinn 2 times 2 so to

mnemonic is a substitute not in neon so

we will have negative 1 raised to 3 and

then 2 times 2 that will become 4 and

then minus 1 so negative 1 raised to 3

is still negative 1 and then 4 minus 1

that is 3 so therefore negative 1 times

3 that is negative 3 and this is our

second term ok next

so again since Sangam a purchase or nasa

triple entire so sorry substitute not in

see Theresa K + 1 and then 2 K Maggie

gain 2 times 3 so we will have negative

1 raise to 4 and then 2 times 3 we have

6 plus minus 1 so negative 1 raise to 4

is positive 1 and then 6 minus 1 is 5 so

therefore we will have 1 times 5 is

equal to 5 and that is our third term

next okay so at Onalaska say you knock

NASA some issue annotation a 10-4 unless

and more limit so you own NASA at the

ass so we will now have substitute not

in C 4 so 4 plus 1 an exponent not n and

then 2 times 4 so let us compute so 4

plus 1 that will become 5 and then 8 a 2

times 4 that is 8 so minus 1 therefore

we will have negative 1 raised to 5 that

is still negative 1 and then 8 minus 1

that is 7 so that is equal to negative 1

times 7

and that is negative seven and that is

the fourth term thank you for watching
