TopicArithmetic Sequences and Series

  1. A sequence \(u _ { 1 } , u _ { 2 } , u _ { 3 } \ldots\) is defined by
$$\begin{aligned} u _ { 1 } & = 35
u _ { n + 1 } & = u _ { n } + 7 \cos \left( \frac { n \pi } { 2 } \right) - 5 ( - 1 ) ^ { n } \end{aligned}$$
    1. Show that \(u _ { 2 } = 40\)
    2. Find the value of \(u _ { 3 }\) and the value of \(u _ { 4 }\) Given that the sequence is periodic with order 4
    1. write down the value of \(u _ { 5 }\)
    2. find the value of \(\sum _ { r = 1 } ^ { 25 } u _ { r }\)
