1. 1. Find the exact(no approximations)sum for the finite series
S sub n= (2 + 2 + 2(2+...+64
i used the parentheses to represent a radical sign
2. Show that the sum of the first 10 terms of the geometric series
1 + 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27+...
is twice the sum of the first 10 terms of the series
1 - 1/3 + 1/9 - 1/27+...
2. no relevant equations to solve this.
3. I attempted to solve this by dividing n/2(a sub 1 +a sub n). n would equal 64 and a sub one would equal radical 2 so 64/2 (radical 2 +64).
This is as far as I have been able to get and am not sure if it is the correct way to solve these two problems. I would appreciate if someone could show me step by step how to go about these since my pre-calc book does horribly at it.
