00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.133
Here is the problem: sum k squared from k equals 1 to 20.

2
00:00:04.583 --> 00:00:09.401
Add the terms k ^ 2 for k equals 1, 2, …, 20 (20 terms).

3
00:00:10.201 --> 00:00:11.049
Write the sum.

4
00:00:11.499 --> 00:00:12.869
List the first terms.

5
00:00:13.319 --> 00:00:16.117
Add all 20 terms exactly (as fractions).

6
00:00:16.917 --> 00:00:19.878
So the answer is 2870.

7
00:00:20.328 --> 00:00:28.676
Each term is computed exactly and added. For long arithmetic or geometric sums a closed formula gives the same result.

8
00:00:29.476 --> 00:00:32.878
Decimal value: 2870.
