Help please??? Find S5 for the series -2 + -10 + -50 + -250 +...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is 5. you have the first 4 terms. What's the 5th?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1250?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. S5 is the first 5 terms added together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is -1250 the answer? if not could you explain how to get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1250 is the first term. S5 means the sum of the first 5 terms, so S5 = -2 + -10 + -50 + -250 + -1250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I just need to add them together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I got -1562. Is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
