The point of view change would create a more intimate and intense feeling because of the closeness of the narration.
Sayla decided the best route would be to take the long trail through the canyon and then into the forest with the caverns. From there she could meet up with the rest of the troop at the shuttle, which nestled in a cave entrance hidden from obvious view. Once everyone made it back safely, they could fly the shuttle to the cloaked spaceship. Sayla squashed a seed of worry taking root in the back of her mind that she was the only one who had gotten lost on this new planet the troop had discovered. If that was the case, and she didn’t make it to the shuttle before the time allotment ran out, she could find herself alone.
She adjusted her pack and the tint on her glasses. This sun shone brighter than the one on her own planet. The troop knew this ahead of time and prepared with skin-protecting salves and shield glasses. She started on the trail, keeping a sharp eye on the cliffs with steep faces and yawning crevices, an easy place for someone or something to hide.
After an hour of hiking the twisting trail, Sayla had to steady her breathing and wipe the beads of sweat dotting her forehead. She wanted to stop and rest, but the fear of time racing and her team leaving spurred each step forward. The trail jagged hard to the left and out of sight, and Sayla felt tension bubble up from her chest. The landscape went from sparse trees to thick forest within 200 steps, so anything could be in that outcropping of trees.
Sayla picked her way over the dirt and stones and met the edge of the forest with her heart beating a fast rhythm from her chest to her head. A crackling sound reverberated from up ahead, and Sayla froze, steeled herself, and stepped into the woods because the only way to her shuttle was through this forest and toward the fizzing sound that filled her ears with fuzz and her body with dread.

Sigma symbol

The Sigma symbol, represented as \( \Sigma \), is a letter in the Greek alphabet and is commonly used in mathematics to denote summation. It signifies the operation of adding a sequence of numbers together. For example, if you see the expression:
\[ \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} a_i \]
it represents the sum of a sequence \( a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n \). Here, \( i \) is the index of summation, which starts at 1 and goes up to \( n \). The values of \( a_i \) are added together for each integer value of \( i \) in that range.
If you need more context or specific uses of the Sigma symbol, feel free to ask!

To evaluate the summation using the Sigma symbol \( \Sigma \) for the series \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^n \) from \( n = 0 \) to \( n = 5 \), we can write it as follows:
\[ \sum_{n=0}^{5} \frac{1}{3}(-2)^n \]
This means that we will calculate each term for \( n = 0 \) through \( n = 5 \) and then sum those results.
Calculating each term:
-
For \( n = 0 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}(-2)^0 = \frac{1}{3}(1) = \frac{1}{3} \]
-
For \( n = 1 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}(-2)^1 = \frac{1}{3}(-2) = -\frac{2}{3} \]
-
For \( n = 2 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}(-2)^2 = \frac{1}{3}(4) = \frac{4}{3} \]
-
For \( n = 3 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}(-2)^3 = \frac{1}{3}(-8) = -\frac{8}{3} \]
-
For \( n = 4 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}(-2)^4 = \frac{1}{3}(16) = \frac{16}{3} \]
-
For \( n = 5 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}(-2)^5 = \frac{1}{3}(-32) = -\frac{32}{3} \]
Now, summing these terms together:
\[ \sum_{n=0}^{5} \frac{1}{3}(-2)^n = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{3} - \frac{8}{3} + \frac{16}{3} - \frac{32}{3} \]
Combining the fractions:
\[ = \frac{1 - 2 + 4 - 8 + 16 - 32}{3} \] \[ = \frac{-21}{3} = -7 \]
Thus, the value of the summation is:
\[ \sum_{n=0}^{5} \frac{1}{3}(-2)^n = -7 \]

so the first term is included, and added to the n, so 6 terms are produced, not just 5?

Yes, you are correct! When calculating the summation
\[ \sum_{n=0}^{5} \frac{1}{3}(-2)^n, \]
the first term corresponds to \( n = 0 \), and \( n \) goes up to \( 5 \). This means you are including the term for \( n = 0 \) as the first term and counting through to \( n = 5 \).
In total, there are indeed 6 terms in the summation:
- \( n = 0 \): \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^0 = \frac{1}{3} \)
- \( n = 1 \): \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^1 = -\frac{2}{3} \)
- \( n = 2 \): \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^2 = \frac{4}{3} \)
- \( n = 3 \): \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^3 = -\frac{8}{3} \)
- \( n = 4 \): \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^4 = \frac{16}{3} \)
- \( n = 5 \): \( \frac{1}{3}(-2)^5 = -\frac{32}{3} \)
So you correctly noted that the expression from \( n = 0 \) to \( n = 5 \) produces six total terms. Thank you for your clarification!
