D
20
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the expression inside the summation: \( i^2 - 3i + 8 \). This is the function we will evaluate for each integer value of \( i \) from 1 to 4.
Substitute \( i = 1 \) into the expression: \( 1^2 - 3(1) + 8 \). Calculate the result of this expression.
Substitute \( i = 2 \) into the expression: \( 2^2 - 3(2) + 8 \). Calculate the result of this expression.
Substitute \( i = 3 \) into the expression: \( 3^2 - 3(3) + 8 \). Calculate the result of this expression.
Substitute \( i = 4 \) into the expression: \( 4^2 - 3(4) + 8 \). Calculate the result of this expression. Finally, sum all the results from the previous steps to find the total value of the summation.
