1)Find the sum of the arithmetic sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., 70.
2)Find the sum of the geometric sequence 42, 7, 7/6, .... , 42(1/6)^8
3)find the sum of the first n terms of the sequence. The sequences are either arithmetic or geometric. -1, 11, -121, ...; n = 9
4)find the sum of the first n terms of the sequence. The sequences are either arithmetic or geometric. 14, 8, 2,...; n=9

Hi,
sum of the arithmetic sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., 70.
to Apply****
I. determine d= 2 and n = 35 |note: 70 = as
II. Substitute values found into to find Sum requested
Do calculation
14, 8, 2,...; n=9 same as above Steps

sum of the geometric sequence -1, 11, -121, ...; n = 9
to Apply****
I. determine r and n
II. Substitute into Formula
Recommend Posting the Geomteric Sequences separately
