Question

We can find the summation of an A.G.P. series using __________

(a) sum()

(b) symsum()

(c) Depends on the series

(d) Cannot be done

The question was asked in exam.

My doubt is from Sums and Products in division Beyond the Basics of MATLAB

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) symsum()

Easiest explanation: If the A.G.P. series can be represented as a summation of a function, we can use the symsum() to find the summation of the series. This is why MATLAB is very versatile as we can use it to reduce the time taken to solve many kinds of mathematical calculations.
