Determine whether the infinite geometric series converges or diverges. If it converges, find its sum. 2 + 1 + + + …

Find an expression for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. -4, 2, 8, 14, 20, . . .

Find the common difference d and the nth term an of the arithmetic sequence with the specified terms. 5th term is -26; 12th term is -89 d = [kgxq] an =  [csed]

The sequence is defined recursively. Write the first four terms a1 = 5; an = 2an-1 – 7 a1 =  [yf] a2 =  [yfd] a3 =  [ufa] a4 =  [jvtd]

Expand the expression using the Binomial Theorem.  Write answer on paper.  You do not have to type it (-: (x – 6)5

Write the formula for the nth term (general terms), and find the 14th term.  -1, 3, -9, 27, … an a14 

One of Merton’s great contributions to the study of deviance was to locate the cause of deviance in the individual, not society.

Merton’s theory indicates that individual acts of deviance have a social origin.

Compare and contrast the positivist and constructionist perspectives on deviance.  How do they differ, but also work together to provide a better definition of deviance? Please provide a detailed response.
