The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.
Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).
Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.
a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.
The boundary line should be solid because it have a 'great/less than or equal to' sign
Answer:
I believe the answer is 12.57
