Your first job in each of these problems is to determine whether the series is arithmetic or geometric. Your next job, then, is to apply the appropriate formula to find the sum.

Notice that for each problem below, not every term is displayed. You will need to use the appropriate formula to find each series sum!

Helpful formulas:
Arithmetic Series Sum = (first + last) * (#terms / 2)
Geometric Series Sum = (next - first) / (multiplier - 1)
