Series and Summation NotationFinding the sum of a series with many terms can be tedious. You can derive formulas for the sums of some common series.In a constant series, such as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, each term has the same value.
The formula for the sum of a constant series is as shown.

A linear series is a counting series, such as the sum of the first 10 natural numbers.
Examine when the terms are rearranged.

Similar methods will help you find the sum of a quadratic series.
Notice that 5 is half of the number of terms and 11 represents the sum of the first and the last term, 1 + 10. This suggests that the sum of a linear series is , which can be written
as

When counting the number of terms, you must include both the first and the last. For example,
has six terms, not five.
k = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
