Evaluate the Summation sum from 5 to 5 of 5

Problem

(∑_i=5^5)(5)

Solution

1. Identify the components of the summation notation, where the lower limit is i=5 the upper limit is 5 and the summand is the constant 5

2. Determine the number of terms in the sum by subtracting the lower limit from the upper limit and adding 1 which gives 5 - 5 + 1 = 1$ term.

3. Evaluate the sum by writing out the single term corresponding to the index i=5 Since the summand is a constant, the value is simply 5

Final Answer

(∑_i=5^5)(5)=5
