Finite sum of a powerHow to calculate If you already know the formulas for for , then you can calculate using the following trick: You expand the LHS and use the formulas you already know. For example, the following formulas should be familiar to most people: You can then apply the above trick to prove that And with that, you can go on and find . And so on, and so forth. #3 2009-01-10 17:43:10
