Using a forloop write the MATLAB code to calculate the sum o

Using a for-loop. write the MATLAB code to calculate the sum of the following series: sum = 1/1 + Squareroot 2 + 1/Squareroot 3 + Squareroot 4 + ... + 1/Squareroot 623 + Squareroot 624 + 1/Squareroot 624 + Squareroot 625

Solution

%summation of given series using for loop

clc

clear all

x(1) = zeros(624,1); % preallocate space for each term

for i = 1: 624

x1(i) = (1 /(sqrt(i) + sqrt(i+1))) % store each term

end

xs = sum(x1) % sum each stored term
