Is that all the information ? I think they’re missing something
Answer:
1st problem:
Converges to 6
2nd problem:
Converges to 504
Step-by-step explanation:
You are comparing to 
You want the ratio r to be between -1 and 1.
Both of these problem are so that means they both have a sum and the series converges to that sum.
The formula for computing a geometric series in our form is
where
is the first term.
The first term of your first series is 3 so your answer will be given by:

The second series has r=1/6 and a_1=420 giving me:
.
By asking students to answer un-biased, and with detail. Comparing and contrasting each others' genre preference is also useful.
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
Since you know:
m = -2
b = 5 Substitute/plug it into the equation
y = mx + b
y = -2x + 5
