GRADE 11 PRE-CALCULUS, MODULE 1 – WEEK 9

Sigma Notation

I. What I Need to Know?

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the use of sigma notation to represent a series and apply the use of sigma notation in
finding sums.. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The
lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which
you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

This module presents the lesson in the following outline:


1. define sigma notation;
2. represent series using sigma notation; and
3. write series in sigma notation;

II. What I Know?


Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate sheet of
paper.

1. Express the sum using sigma notation: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10

2. Express 11,15, 20,12 and 18 into sigma notation.

3. The sum of 8 observations from x1 up to x8 can be expressed as


4. What is the sigma notation for the first four positive multiple of 5?
III. What is it?
Mathematics use the sigma notation to denote a sum. The uppercase Greek letter ∑
(sigma) is used to indicate a “sum.” The notation consists of several components or parts.

To write the sum of n values or measurement in a simpler way, the summation


notation is used. To write the preceding example in summation notation, we have
Here i is the index of summation and its value ranges from 1, the lower limit, to 40,
the upper limit. Observe also that when we write the sum of the values in summation
notation, we replace the subscript of the variable by an arbitrary subscript i and indicate in
the index the range of the summation. More examples on writing the summation notation
are shown below.
The sigma notation of a sum expression is not necessarily unique. For example,
the last item in the preceding example can also be expressed in the sigma notation as
follows:
However, this last sigma notation is equivalent to the one given in this example.

Consider the four observations. If the sum of the four observations is presented as

the sum of the squares of the four observations is represented as

the sum of the product of pairs of the four observations can be expressed as

V. What I Have Learned?

VI. What I Can Do?


VII. Assessment

Multiple Choice. Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a
separate sheet of paper.
