Question

Someone please help me find the sum of these geometric series!! Thank you so much

Answer 1

Sum of aritmetic sqeuqnece is
(n/2)(a1+an)
a1=first term
an=nth term
n=how many terms

so we gots
a1=3(1)-4=-1
a18=50
n=18
(18/2)(-1+50)
(9)(49)
441


other one
a1(1-r^(n+1))/(1-r)

2(1-2^(15+1))/(1-(1/4))
 about 2 and 2/3, so closer to 3
