Question
![The text provides a mathematical problem that involves calculating a specific summation.
---
Let
\[ s_k = \sum_{n=1}^{k} n(0.1)^n \]
Find \( s_8 \).
\( s_8 = \) [Input box for answer]
---
This equation defines a sequence \( s_k \), which is the sum of the series from \( n = 1 \) to \( k \), where each term is given by \( n \times (0.1)^n \). The task is to find the value of \( s_8 \) by substituting \( k = 8 \) into the formula and calculating the resulting summation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4e05606d-eca3-4e0a-a16d-18c3b1762844%2Fe54b4dfa-52bb-4718-b5af-fbc94e9110cc%2Fve3hhhyu_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
