Consider a geometric sequence \((a_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty }\).
Let \(q\) be the quotient
and \(s_{n}\) be the sum
of the first \(n\)
terms. Given \(a_{1} = -1\: 000\)
and \(a_{2} = 100\),
find the sum of the first four terms of the sequence.

Consider a geometric sequence \((a_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty }\).
Let \(q\) be the quotient
and \(s_{n}\) be the sum
of the first \(n\)
terms. Given \(a_{1} = 1\)
and \(a_{4} = -8\),
find the sum of the first five terms of the sequence.
In the following list identify a set of a numbers which give remainder
\(2\) after division by
\(3\), i.e. the numbers can
be written in the form \(3k + 2\),
\(k\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\).
