What is the sum of the first n terms of this series? 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + ⋯

OpenStudy (danjs):

notice when i=1 the term is 4, that will eliminate a couple answers off the bat

OpenStudy (danjs):

They are asking for a sum up to nth term... \[\sum_{1}^{n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if it doesn't equal 4 then I should eliminate that answer?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Right, let i=1 and calculate the ( ) Quantity...

OpenStudy (danjs):

Notice that each term increases by 2, that helps choose... ( something +2 ) maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (danjs):

yes, the third one, but i sorta gave you the answer with those two infos, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it's n instead of the infinity symbol and it's 2+2

OpenStudy (danjs):

right, they want n terms, not the infinite sum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm slow enough that I don't realize those things, lol. Thank you for your assistance!! xoxo.

OpenStudy (danjs):
