I have several problems I am trying to work out I need to find using the nth term of arithmetic seq. what the 101st term and also find the sum of the 20th term and then the 30th term> understand that the ratio is +2 in this sequence 1,2.4,8 but I don understand how to figure what the term is. really. and the nth term i dont get at all.
I also have to figure the same thing different numbers in the geometric sequence 1,1/2,1/4,1/8 .
but I don't know using the nth term of geometric seq. what is the 24th term. and using the same seq. finding the sum of the first 10 terms and them the 12 term rounded to the 4 decimal.
and how do you tell what whole number will the sum be smaller than. I would really appreiciate if someone could talk me through how to determine these things , like explaining where each number comes from. thanks
