just give me 10 min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just learned that to find the sum you need to use this formula \[S _{n} =\frac{ n }{ 2 }(a _{1} + a _{n})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a1 = 2(-2)^1 -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an = 2(-2)^7 - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you put that in the chart youll get your answer
