What have you done so far? What specific problems are you having with your code? This is a very simple for-loop. Do you know how to write a for-loop?

Here is an outline to get you started:
a = something; % you put a value here
m = something; % you put a value here
x = something; % you put a value here
y = 0; % the starting y value
for i=1:m % the for-loop indexing
% you put code here to add something to y
end % the end of the for-loop

That's a good start at getting the values in. But in the for-loop, you want to be adding terms into y. The way you have it coded now, you are simply replacing the value of y with a new term. You need to correct the code inside the for-loop.
