How do you find the sum of #Sigma [(i-1)^2+(i+1)^3]# where i is [1,4]? Calculus Introduction to Integration Sigma Notation 1 Answer Cem Sentin Nov 13, 2017 #238# Explanation: #sum_(i=1)^4 [(i-1)^2+(i+1)^3]# #=sum_(i=1)^4 (i^2-2i+1+i^3+3i^2+3i+1)# #=sum_(i=1)^4 (i^3+4i^2+i+2)# #=((4*5)/2)^2+4*(4*5*9)/6+(4*5)/2+2*4# #=238# Answer link Related questions How does sigma notation work?
