I'll do the first one.....see if you can do the second
1.
First term = 2(3) - 10 = - 4
Last term = 2(6) - 10 = 12
Sum = ( first term + last term) * (number of terms) / 2 = (-4 + 12) (6 - 3 + 1) /2 =
(-4 + 12) (4) /2 =
8 ( 4) / 2 =
32 / 2 =
16
Second one
First term = 2(1)^2 - 4 = -2
Last term = 2(4)^2 - 4 = 32 - 4 = 28
Number of terms = 4
