    Find the sum given a (first)=3, r=-3/2; n=5
    Sum = 55/16
    Problem 1

    r = 2 ; a = 7

    T_{n} = ar^{n - 1}


    T_{10} = (7)(2)^{10 - 1}

    = (7)(2^9)

    = 3584


    ---


    Problem 2

    S_{n} = \frac{ a( 1 - r^n ) }{ 1 - r }

    S_{5} = \frac{ 3( 1 - (-1,5)^5 ) }{ 1 - (-1,5) }

    S_{5} = \frac{165}{16}
