Step 1
Step 2
Using a law of exponentiation, we simplify
n⋅nk=nk+1.
Using a law of exponentiation, we simplify
naknk+1
We observe that all the integers from 1 to n are at most n, hence
1k+2k++ n* ≤ n k +nk + ... + nk.
Step 3
We can simplify the sum by adding the exponents:
nk+n++ nk = nk+k+.+k = nrk.
Step 4
We observe that all the integers from 1 to n are at most n, hence
1k+2k++nk ≥nk + n + ... + n*.
By combining our calculations, we get 1 + 2k ++nk ≥nk+1
for all n ≥ 1. We have verified the definition of what it means for
1+2++nk to be O(n+1).
By combining our calculations, we get 1k + 2k + + n ≤n*+1
for all n≥1. We have verified the definition of what it means for
1+2++nk to be O(n+1).
Since there are exactly n equal terms in the sum,
we can write the sum as a simple product:
nk+n++nk = n⋅nk.
