Answer and workings in the attachment below. The mathematics is better explained using mathematics. No talking is really going to convince you how these sums are actually added up. You simply have to look at the attachments and analyse them using a careful eye. Examples concerning how sigma notation works has been provided. Remember that any value (excluding 0 itself) to the power of 0, is equal to 1.
