OK, these questions are supposed to be really easy, but I keep geting the wrong answer and I don't understand why, could someone pleas look at my work and tell me what I am doing wrong?
Find the indicated sum of each arithmetic series
S15 for 4 + 11 + 18 + ...
Sn= n/2 [ 2a + ( n - 1 ) d ]
Sn= 15/2 [ 2(4) + (15 - 1 ) 7 ]
Sn= 7.5 [ 8 + 98 ]
Sn= 795
Find t8 for the following sequence
10 000 , -5 000 , 2 500 , -1 250 ,
So...
tn= ar ^ n-1
tn= 10 000 (-0.5) ^ n-1
t8= 10 000 (-0.5) ^ 7
= 78.125
Sometimes the answers in the back of the book are wrong, so am I wrong or are they??
