Hello.
FullSimplify[\!\(
\*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(i = 0\), \(\(-1\) + n\)]i\ f[
i]\) == \!\(
\*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(k = 0\), \(\(-1\) + n\)]k\ f[k]\)]
Evaluates to:
\!\(
\*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(i = 0\), \(\(-1\) + n\)]i\ f[
i]\) == \!\(
\*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(k = 0\), \(\(-1\) + n\)]k\ f[k]\)
Why doesn't it evaluate to true? Is there a way to make the system
solve this kind of equations?
