SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the interpretation of the function f(x) = Σ(X^2) from j=1 to n, specifically within the context of the DeJong Equation. It establishes that for n=4, the function simplifies to f(x) = 4X^2, leading to f(3) equaling 36. The implementation of this function in MATLAB is also highlighted as a key requirement for users working with this equation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sigma notation and summation

I just need a quick clarification on how to read this function

f(x) = sigma of X^2, starting at j=1, and n

so does that mean that f(3) would equal to 36, if n=4?

I forgot to mention that this is a DeJong Equation, and I need to implement in the matlab
 
Are you sure this is the function:

f(x)=\sum^{n}_{j=1}x^{2}

The term is independing of the sum, so the function is just:

f(x)=nx^{2}
