Answer

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^{5}{\left( {{k}^{2}}-3k+4 \right)}$ is $\text{34}\text{.}$

Work Step by Step

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^{5}{\left( {{k}^{2}}-3k+4 \right)}$ For the sum of the notation, $\begin{align} & \sum\limits_{k=0}^{5}{\left( {{k}^{2}}-3k+4 \right)}=\left( {{0}^{2}}-3\cdot 0+4 \right)+\left( {{1}^{2}}-3\cdot 1+4 \right)+\left( {{2}^{2}}-3\cdot 2+4 \right)+\left( {{3}^{2}}-3\cdot 3+4 \right)+\left( {{4}^{2}}-3\cdot 4+4 \right)+\left( {{5}^{2}}-3\cdot 5+4 \right) \\ & =4+2+2+4+8+14 \\ & =34 \end{align}$ Thus, the sum of the sigma notation $\sum\limits_{k=0}^{5}{\left( {{k}^{2}}-3k+4 \right)}$ is$ \ 34 . $
