1. list the terms
a(n) = 4n, start with n=1,2,..
terms are 4, 8,12, 16, 32
now add them up
2. I think you mean
a(n+1) = 4a(n) + 18, where a(1) = 3
a(2) = 4a(1) + 18 = 4(3)+18 = 30
a(3) = 4a(2) + 18 = 4(30)+18 = 138
carry on to a(6)
This is called a recursive sequence, where any term depends on the value of the previous term
3. An AS, where a = 50000, and d = 1000
n = 30
Use your formula for the sum of n terms
