1. For the sequence 18, -9,9/2, -9/4, .....
(a) Write down a formula for the ith term, Ti;
(b) Using (a), or otherwise, find T12. Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form;
(c) Write down using summation notation a formula for the sum of the first n terms. If this formula simplifies, then simplify it;
(d) Compute S12 and S∞. Express S12 correct to three decimal places. Express S∞ exactly as an improper fraction.

3. James puts $8,500 in a bank for superannuation purposes, with an interest rate of 2.5% per year. The interest is added at the end of each year, and the interest rate is applied to the new amount over the next year. After how many years (as a whole number) will James have a total of $35,000 in the superannuation account?
4. In an arithmetic progression, T1, T2, . . . it is known that T6 = 34 and T12 = 56.

6. A bucket contains three pink balls, five green balls and two yellow balls. (a) In total, how many different ways can the balls be drawn out of the bucket? Hint: Here we are not concerned about the colour of the balls; think of each ball as different. (b) How many ways could I draw a pink ball, then a green ball and finally a yellow ball out of the bucket? What is the probability of this occurring?
7. Using an appropriate combination nCr, what is the coefficient of x^6 in the expansion of(3 - 2x)^10? Note: You do not have to write out the full expansion to determine the required coefficient. Be sure to state the name of any theorem you use.
