Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$1+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}+2+\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}$ This is the sum of the root of the first six natural numbers. The value of $k$ varies from $1$ to $6$. Thus, the sigma notation is, $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{6}{\sqrt{k}}$ Thus, the sigma notation for the sum $1+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}+2+\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}$ is $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{6}{\sqrt{k}}$.
