How many terms are in the finite geometric sequence

## Series and Their Notation

Use summation notation to write the sum of terms $\frac{1}{2}m+5$ from $m=0$ to $m=5.$

$\sum _{m=0}^{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}m+5\right).$

Use summation notation to write the sum that results from adding the number $13$ twenty times.

Use the formula for the sum of the first $n$ terms of an arithmetic series to find the sum of the first eleven terms of the arithmetic series 2.5, 4, 5.5, … .

${S}_{11}=110$

A ladder has $15$ tapered rungs, the lengths of which increase by a common difference. The first rung is 5 inches long, and the last rung is 20 inches long. What is the sum of the lengths of the rungs?

Use the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series to find ${S}_{9}$ for the series

${S}_{9}\approx 23.95$

The fees for the first three years of a hunting club membership are given in [link] . If fees continue to rise at the same rate, how much will the total cost be for the first ten years of membership?

Year Membership Fees
1 $1500 2$1950
3 $2535 Find the sum of the infinite geometric series $\sum _{k=1}^{\infty }45\cdot {\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)}^{k-1}.$ $S=\frac{135}{4}$ A ball has a bounce-back ratio of $\frac{3}{5}$ the height of the previous bounce. Write a series representing the total distance traveled by the ball, assuming it was initially dropped from a height of 5 feet. What is the total distance? ( Hint : the total distance the ball travels on each bounce is the sum of the heights of the rise and the fall.) Alejandro deposits$80 of his monthly earnings into an annuity that earns 6.25% annual interest, compounded monthly. How much money will he have saved after 5 years?

$5,617.61 The twins Sarah and Scott both opened retirement accounts on their 21 st birthday. Sarah deposits$4,800.00 each year, earning 5.5% annual interest, compounded monthly. Scott deposits $3,600.00 each year, earning 8.5% annual interest, compounded monthly. Which twin will earn the most interest by the time they are $55$ years old? How much more? ## Counting Principles How many ways are there to choose a number from the set $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left\{-10\text{,}-6\text{,}4\text{,}10\text{,}12\text{,}18\text{,}24\text{,}32\right\}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ that is divisible by either $4$ or $6?$ 6 In a group of $20$ musicians, $12$ play piano, $7$ play trumpet, and $2$ play both piano and trumpet. How many musicians play either piano or trumpet?
