Sequences and Series Mid-Unit


Assignment
You may choose to complete your mathematical calculations by hand
and scan or take images to upload to the dropbox. To help your teacher
review your work, submit your calculations as a single file document
(preferably as a pdf). If you aren’t sure how to do this, email your teacher
for assistance. 

Important

 Provide full solution, showing all of your steps.


 Make sure that there is one step or idea per line.
 Use one equal sign per line.
 Make sure that equal signs line up vertically.
 Don't use self-developed short form notations.
