00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.853
Here is the problem: sum of 2 to the power k from k equals 0 to 10.

2
00:00:05.303 --> 00:00:09.796
Add the terms 2 ^ k for k equals 0, 1, …, 10 (11 terms).

3
00:00:10.596 --> 00:00:11.525
Write the sum.

4
00:00:11.975 --> 00:00:13.345
List the first terms.

5
00:00:13.795 --> 00:00:16.802
Add all 11 terms exactly (as fractions).

6
00:00:17.602 --> 00:00:20.505
So the answer is 2047.

7
00:00:20.955 --> 00:00:29.070
Each term is computed exactly and added. For long arithmetic or geometric sums a closed formula gives the same result.

8
00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:33.028
Decimal value: 2047.
