Sequences and Summation Notation

Find the sum for the following series. 

• 44
• -162
• -682
• 324

Evaluate the sum

• no sum exists
• 5
• 10
• 20

Find the missing terms of the arithmetic sequence:
145, ___, ___, ___, 205

• 160, 175, 190
• 165, 185, 195
• 155, 165, 175
• 190, 175, 160

Write the nth term formula:  5 + 11 + 17 + 23 + … + 35

• t(n) = 5 + 6(n – 1) 
• t(n) = 5(6)^n-1
• t(n) = 5 + 6n 
• t(n) = -1 + 6(n - 1)

Identify the common difference.
