00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400
Here is the problem: sum of k cubed from k equals 1 to 5.

2
00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:09.529
Add the terms k ^ 3 for k equals 1, 2, …, 5 (5 terms).

3
00:00:10.329 --> 00:00:11.235
Write the sum.

4
00:00:11.685 --> 00:00:13.043
List the first terms.

5
00:00:13.493 --> 00:00:16.407
Add all 5 terms exactly (as fractions).

6
00:00:17.207 --> 00:00:19.703
So the answer is 225.

7
00:00:20.153 --> 00:00:28.524
Each term is computed exactly and added. For long arithmetic or geometric sums a closed formula gives the same result.

8
00:00:29.324 --> 00:00:32.157
Decimal value: 225.
