How would you state whether the given sums are equal or unequal #3?

### Mathematical Summation Notation

**3.**
- \(\sum_{i=1}^{10} i(i-1)\) and \(\sum_{k=1}^{10} (k^2 - k)\).

**4.**
- \(\sum_{i=1}^{8} i^3\) and \(\sum_{i=1}^{4} i^3 + \sum_{i=5}^{8} i^3\).

### Explanation:

**Notation Overview:**
- The symbol \(\sum\) represents a summation, which is the addition of a sequence of numbers.
- The index \(i\) or \(k\) is the variable of summation.
- The numbers below and above the summation symbol indicate the starting and ending values for the index.

**Detailed Explanation:**

**3.**
- The first expression, \(\sum_{i=1}^{10} i(i-1)\), calculates the sum of the product of \(i\) and \((i-1)\) from \(i=1\) to \(i=10\).
- The second expression, \(\sum_{k=1}^{10} (k^2 - k)\), calculates the sum of \((k^2 - k)\) from \(k=1\) to \(k=10\).

**4.**
- \(\sum_{i=1}^{8} i^3\) calculates the sum of the cubes of \(i\) from \(i=1\) to \(i=8\).
- The expression \(\sum_{i=1}^{4} i^3 + \sum_{i=5}^{8} i^3\) is equivalent to \(\sum_{i=1}^{8} i^3\), as it divides the summation into two parts: from \(i=1\) to \(i=4\), and from \(i=5\) to \(i=8\).
