Questions: Assuming that the sum from i=0 to n of ai = 42 and the sum from i=0 to n of bi = 105, find the sum from i=0 to n of (bi - ai).
Transcript text: Assuming that $\sum_{i=0}^{n} a_{i}=42$ and $\sum_{i=0}^{n} b_{i}=105$, find the sum $\sum_{i=0}^{n}\left(b_{i}-a_{i}\right)$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Rewrite the sum
We are given the sum $\sum_{i=0}^{n}\left(b_{i}-a_{i}\right)$. We can rewrite this sum as the difference of two sums: $\sum_{i=0}^{n} b_{i} - \sum_{i=0}^{n} a_{i}$.
Step 2: Substitute the given values
We are given that $\sum_{i=0}^{n} a_{i} = 42$ and $\sum_{i=0}^{n} b_{i} = 105$. Substituting these values into the rewritten sum gives us: $105 - 42$.
