Help answering this simple Series Question? I don't know what I did wrong!

Looks like you just evaluated the summand for the given value of n, whereas the question is asking you to find the value of the sum for the first n terms.

Let S_k=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^k\frac3{(-2)^n}. Then S_k is the kth partial sum.

S_1 happens to be the first term in the series, which is why that box is marked correct:

S_1=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^1\frac3{(-2)^n}=\frac3{(-2)^1}=-1.5

But the next partial sum is not correct:

S_2=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^2\frac3{(-2)^n}=\frac3{(-2)^1}+\frac3{(-2)^2}=-0.75

and this is not the same notion as the second term (which indeed is 0.75) in the series.

You start at (7, 2). You move up 5 units. Where do you end?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(7,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because going up would be moving along the y-axis, then you would add 5 to the Y value which was 2 so therefore, if you move up 5 you'll be at (7,7).:)
