Answer

$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{6}{{{k}^{2}}}$.

Work Step by Step

$1+4+9+16+25+36$ This can be written as, ${{\left( 1 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 4 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 6 \right)}^{2}}$ In sum the value of $k$ varies from $1$ to $6$. Hence, the sigma notation is, $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{6}{{{k}^{2}}}$ Thus, the sigma notation for the sum $1+4+9+16+25+36$ is$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{6}{{{k}^{2}}}$.
