1. The general term Tn of a geometric sequence is 5^n-3. Find the sum of the first 5 terms in the sequence.
2. a^3/2 x a^3 x a^6 x a^12 x ... x a^192=
3. Consider the geometric sequence 2,6,18,54,162,.... Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence 3,7,19,55,163,...
ans:
1) 781/25
2) a^765/2
3) 3^20+19
pls show clear steps.thanks!
