### Summation in Mathematics

In this section, we illustrate how to perform a summation operation in a sequence.

#### Understanding Summation Notation

The image displays a mathematical summation notation:

\[
\sum_{i=0}^{12} (100 - 2i)
\]

This notation tells us to sum the expression \(100 - 2i\) as \(i\) takes on values from 0 to 12 inclusive.

#### Steps to Compute the Summation

1. **Identify the Expression and Limits**:
   - **Expression**: \(100 - 2i\)
   - **Lower Limit (i=0)**: The summation starts at \(i=0\)
   - **Upper Limit (i=12)**: The summation ends at \(i=12\)

2. **Substitute and Sum**:
   - Substitute \(i = 0\) to get \(100 - 2(0) = 100\)
   - Substitute \(i = 1\) to get \(100 - 2(1) = 98\)
   - Substitute \(i = 2\) to get \(100 - 2(2) = 96\)
   - Continue this process until \(i = 12\).

   The sequence of terms will be: \(100, 98, 96, 94, \ldots, 76\).

3. **Add the Terms**:
   \[
   100 + 98 + 96 + 94 + 92 + 90 + 88 + 86 + 84 + 82 + 80 + 78 + 76
   \]

By calculating these, you will find the result of the summation.

#### Visualization

If you were to graph these terms, you would plot each term on the y-axis against its corresponding \(i\) value on the x-axis. This would create a straight line, demonstrating a linear decrease in values as \(i\) increases.

This process demonstrates how summation notation is used to succinctly describe the addition of a sequence of numbers, which is a fundamental concept in mathematics.

---

This explanation helps you understand the concept of summation, providing you with both the theoretical background and a step-by-step process to solve the problem.
