Find the sum of N for 2/N(2+2(2i/N)-1) where i=1.

At least I think. I'm no mathemagician.

unsolvable

i said fuck math when they started putting letters in

Insert a value for n or assume n is infinity.

I don't know how to explain it but I am sure the answer is 21.

ah i see, im gonna try with that. I thought you needed to simplify the expression first

I'm 14 so I don't understand some of the symbols, but try simplifying it then use a calculator

The only character you probably don't recognize is Sigma. Ʃ (the sum of)

It's funny because even though you really isn't 14, you're now gonna get your IP banned :DDDD

assuming i is a complex number, you already cant add some of the qualities here, second if n goes to infinity, you could expand this and calculate the limit with lim n -> infinity.

2 H_n + 8i H_n^2

H_n is the nth harmonic number

nb the harmonic series doesn't converge in inf, so I assume it's not the case here.

= Sum (2/n + 8i/n^2)
= 2*n/n + 8*Sum(i)/n^2
= 2 + 8*(n*(n+1)/2)/n^2
= 2 + 4*(n+1)/n

also, BTW, if you don't know the basics, at least learn to use wolframalpha.com

fuck, I've summed over n, and not over i *sigh*. is obviously right.

2/n + 8*(n!)/(n*n)

...

/sci/

You have to do your own homework faggot but I'll give you a hint.
Hint: You first have to prove the convergence of the series and then you have to factor n out to solve for i in order to get to the solution.

already posted by , although I agree that factoring the n/n out of n+1/n allows a simpler answer.

Who the fuck still uses mixed fractions or whatever they're called

It's an expression. By definition it can't be solved.

it's a partial sum, not a series. The term "convergence" makes no sense here. If n -> inf, the sum can be treated as a limit, and the result would be just 6.

i have no idea wtf happens here

See with the additional step

= 2 + 4*n/n + 4*1/n
= 6 + 4/n

I still dont understand it, this is how i started:

2 + 4i / n -1
= 2n/n + 4i / n -n/n
= 4i
