You asked:

Find the sum of the sequence: \(2\), \(-3\), \(2\), \(-3\), \(2\), \(-3\),\(\ldots\)

MathBot Answer:

The infinite series \(\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left(- \frac{5 \left(-1\right)^{n}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right)\) diverges.


This is a c geometric sequence.

The nth term in this sequence is given by the formula:

Explicit Formula: $$a_n=- \frac{5 \left(-1\right)^{n}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$$

Recursive Formula: $$a_n=- 5 \left(-1\right)^{n} + a_{n-1}, \text{where } a_1=2$$
