Answer

$426$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ To evaluate the given summation expression, $ \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^4 \dfrac{x_i^3+1000}{x_i+10} ,$ substitute $ i $ with the values from $ 1 $ to $ 4 .$ Then substitute the given values for each $x_i$'s $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ Substituting $ i $ with the numbers from $ 1 $ to $ 4 ,$ the given expression is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{x_1^3+1000}{x_1+10}+\dfrac{x_2^3+1000}{x_2+10}+\dfrac{x_3^3+1000}{x_3+10}+\dfrac{x_4^3+1000}{x_4+10} .\end{array} Using the given values $x_1=-2, x_2=-1, x_3=0,$ and $x_4=1,$ the expression above evaluates to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{(-2)^3+1000}{-2+10}+\dfrac{(-1)^3+1000}{-1+10}+\dfrac{0^3+1000}{0+10}+\dfrac{1^3+1000}{1+10} \\\\= \dfrac{-8+1000}{8}+\dfrac{-1+1000}{9}+\dfrac{0+1000}{10}+\dfrac{1+1000}{11} \\\\= \dfrac{992}{8}+\dfrac{999}{9}+\dfrac{1000}{10}+\dfrac{1001}{11} \\\\= 124+111+100+91 \\\\= 426 .\end{array}
