I have the following polynomial
F(x) = 1^5 + (1^5 + 2^5)+ (1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5) + ... + (1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 4^5 + ... + x^5)
How can I write a loop iteration for this polynomials?

Why do you need a loop?
1^5 + (1^5 + 2^5) + (1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5) + (1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 4^5)
sum(cumsum((1:4).^5))

I would suggest not using a loop:
F=@(x) sum( ( (1:x).^5 ).*(x:-1:1) );

Yes, and the code posted by Stephen in a comment is also vectorized.
There are probably some exceptions I'm not thinking of, but if you don't see a loop (or cellfun/arrayfun) the code is vectorized.
