That's exactly why this question confused me. My work didn't turn out pretty, then I psyched myself out by thinking I must have read the question wrong. Thanks man.
Hmm... Okay, what is the problem actually asking for?
FIRST Sk: So given the first general term, I can plug it into the Sk formula to get Sk = 100[1-(11/17)^k)]/[(1-(11/17)].
SECOND Sk: Given the second general term, I can plug it into the Sk formula again to get Sk =...
Sequences and series - try again :)
Hi, I'm going to try to post this question again, hopefully it is more clear this time. I'm not sure how to approach this question, or really, what this question is asking me!

sorry man... that's part of my problem... this is the question as i got it... and i have no idea what it's saying. i think even if you couldn't figure out the answer, some guidance on how you would even approach such a question would be much appreciated. perhaps u've seen a similar question...
Homework Statement
Hi, it's been a while since I've done questions such as the one below. Does anyone know how to solve it? (Note that k and n are actually sub-k and sub-n). Thanks in advance.
The kth term of a series, Sk = a (1-R^k) / (1-R) , is the sum of the first k terms of the...
