Trying to help my son & I am in Waaaaay over my head.

He has a string of numbers and needs to come up with the correct Sigma Notation equation.

3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96
 
Physics news on Phys.org
[tex]3\ +\ 6\ +\ 12\ +\ 24\ +\ 48\ +\ 96\ =\ \sum _{k=0}^53\cdot2^k[/tex]

Is that what you wanted? Given a sequence of six numbers, it's not clear what you even mean by "the correct Sigma Notation equation".

Thank You VERY MUCH.
