A Greek letter - in maths it translates as the sum of
start term r=1
end term r=5
the sum of the first 5 terms
What type of series is it?
Make r=1, r=2, ....
r=1, 4-1=3
r=2, 8-1=7r=3, 12-1=11
3, 7, 11, ....
AP: u1=3, d=4, n=5
=55

Find the following information:
1. Type of series (AP or GP)
2. n
3. u1
4. difference (d) or ratio (r)
5. The sum
1. 8, 16, 32, .... a GP
2. n=6 (careful .. use your fingers to count)
3. u1 = 8
4. r = 2
5. 504
