So let's start from the beginning.

Add 2 and 4:

(2 + 4)

Multiply the sum by 3:

3(2 + 4)

Then add 5 to that product:

3(2 + 4) + 5

Then double the results:

2[3(2 + 4) + 5]

Evaluate the series 4 – 2 + 1 – 0.5 + 0.25 to S10. Round to the nearest hundredth.

aleksklad [387]

The initial term of this geometric series is 4, and the common ratio is -1/2. The sum is given by

$S_{n}=a_{1}\dfrac{r^{n}-1}{r-1}\\\\S_{10}=4\cdot \dfrac{(-\frac{1}{2})^{10}-1}{-\frac{1}{2}-1}=4\cdot \dfrac{(\frac{1}{1024}-1)}{(-\frac{3}{2})}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1023}{1024}=\dfrac{341}{128}$

The sum is approximately 2.66.
