![**Topic: Using Sigma Notation**
Sigma notation is a concise and convenient way to represent long sums. Below, we explore how to express given sums using sigma notation.
### Example Problems
**Express the following sums using sigma notation:**
**a.** \( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 \)
**b.** \( 7 + 14 + 21 + 28 + 35 + 42 \)
**c.** \( 1^8 + 2^8 + 3^8 + 4^8 \)
**d.** \( \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{11} + \frac{1}{12} \)
### Solutions
1. **Sum:** \( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 \)
**Sigma Notation:**
\( \sum_{k=1}^{5} k \)
2. **Sum:** \( 7 + 14 + 21 + 28 + 35 + 42 \)
**Sigma Notation:**
\( \sum_{k=1}^{6} (7k) \)
3. **Sum:** \( 1^8 + 2^8 + 3^8 + 4^8 \)
**Sigma Notation:**
\( \sum_{k=1}^{4} k^8 \)
4. **Sum:** \( \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{11} + \frac{1}{12} \)
**Sigma Notation:**
\( \sum_{k=1}^{4} \frac{1}{8+k} \)
