Click and drag the steps that are required to prove 1k+ 2k +...+nk is O(nk + 1) to their corresponding step numbers.
Step 1
Step 2
Using a law of exponentiation, we simplify
n⋅nk=nk+1
Using a law of exponentiation, we simplify
nnk = nk+1.
We observe that all the integers from 1 to n are at most n, hence
1+2++ n ≤ n + n + ... + nk.
Step 3
We can simplify the sum by adding the exponents:
nk+n++ nk = nk+k+-+k = nnk
Step 4
We observe that all the integers from 1 to n are at most n, hence
1k+2k++n* ≥nk +nk + ... + n*.
By combining our calculations, we get 1* + 2k + ... + n ≥ n*+1
for all n ≥1. We have verified the definition of what it means for
1+2++nk to be O(n+1).
By combining our calculations, we get 1k + 2k + ... + n ≤ n k+1
for all n ≥1. We have verified the definition of what it means for
1k+2k++nk to be O(n+1).
Since there are exactly n equal terms in the sum,
we can write the sum as a simple product:
n* + n* +...+n* = n⋅nk.
