Answer 3

Answer 4

the pattern is actually given to you: n^2

Answer 5

its up to you to determine the value of n that starts it off

Answer 6

\[\Large \sum_{n=??}^{inf}n^2\]

Answer 7

n=10

Answer 8

?

Answer 9

since 10^2 = 100, i would go with that :)

if the instructions want you to start at a specific index, you might need to adjust the n values appropriatley
