Answer

The sum of the sigma notation $\sum\limits_{k=0}^{4}{{{10}^{k}}}$ is $11,111.$

Work Step by Step

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^{4}{{{10}^{k}}}$ For the sum: $\begin{align} & \sum\limits_{k=0}^{4}{{{10}^{k}}}={{10}^{0}}+{{10}^{1}}+{{10}^{2}}+{{10}^{3}}+{{10}^{4}} \\ & =1+10+100+1000+10000 \\ & =11,111 \end{align}$ Thus, the sum of the sigma notation$\sum\limits_{k=0}^{4}{{{10}^{k}}}$ is $11,111.$
