Answer

$\text {(a)}$ \begin{align} \sum_{k=0}^{14} (k+4)(k+1) \end{align} $\text {(b)}$ \begin{align} \sum_{k=5}^{19} (k-1)(k-4) \end{align}

Work Step by Step

$\text {The given summation is}$ \begin{align} \sum_{k=4}^{18} k(k-3) \end{align} k = 0 should be the lower limit:}$ \begin{align} k' = k -4 \Rrightarrow k = k' + 4 \\ when \ k' = 0 \Rrightarrow k = 4 \\ when \ k' = 14 \Rrightarrow k = 18 \\ k \Rrightarrow k + 4 \ and \ k - 3 \Rrightarrow k+1 \end{align} $\text {Therefore, the summation will be}$ \begin{align} \sum_{k=0}^{14} (k+4)(k+1) \end{align} $\text {(b) k = 5 should be the lower limit:}$ \begin{align} k' = k +1 \Rrightarrow k = k' -1 \\ when \ k' = 5 \Rrightarrow k = 4 \\ when \ k' = 19 \Rrightarrow k = 18 \\ k \Rrightarrow k -1\ and \ k - 3 \Rrightarrow k-4 \end{align} $\text {Therefore, the summation will be} \begin{align} \sum_{k=5}^{19} (k-1)(k-4) \end{align}
