Do you mean to say you can't do 2 and 4?? What are the possible values for n? Do you know what an nth partial sum is?

Hint: 3 is a geometric ratio. What is the sum for this?

If, as you appear to be saying, you know nothing at all about these problems, why should you pass maths?

The second problem asks you to find [math]\sum_{n=0}^4 (n-1)^2[/math]. Do you know what that means? If you do then this is a simple arithmetic problem. If you do not then you should Not pass maths!
