00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.402
Here is the problem: sum of k from 1 to 100.

2
00:00:03.852 --> 00:00:08.647
Add the terms k for k equals 1, 2, …, 100 (100 terms).

3
00:00:09.447 --> 00:00:10.376
Write the sum.

4
00:00:10.826 --> 00:00:12.254
List the first terms.

5
00:00:12.704 --> 00:00:15.653
Add all 100 terms exactly (as fractions).

6
00:00:16.453 --> 00:00:18.926
So the answer is 5050.

7
00:00:19.376 --> 00:00:27.782
Each term is computed exactly and added. For long arithmetic or geometric sums a closed formula gives the same result.

8
00:00:28.582 --> 00:00:31.345
Decimal value: 5050.
