00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.261
Here is the problem: sum of k cubed from k equals 1 to 10.

2
00:00:04.711 --> 00:00:09.134
Add the terms k ^ 3 for k equals 1, 2, …, 10 (10 terms).

3
00:00:09.934 --> 00:00:10.840
Write the sum.

4
00:00:11.290 --> 00:00:12.648
List the first terms.

5
00:00:13.098 --> 00:00:15.803
Add all 10 terms exactly (as fractions).

6
00:00:16.603 --> 00:00:19.494
So the answer is 3025.

7
00:00:19.944 --> 00:00:28.094
Each term is computed exactly and added. For long arithmetic or geometric sums a closed formula gives the same result.

8
00:00:28.894 --> 00:00:32.284
Decimal value: 3025.
