Question: Evaluate the series k = 1 ( 8 5 k - 8 5 k + 1 ) two ways as outlined in parts ( a

Evaluate the series k=1(85k-85k+1) two ways as outlined in parts (a) and (b).
a. Evaluate k=1(85k-85k+1) using a telescoping series argument.
b. Evaluate k=1(85k-85k+1) using a geometric series argument after first simplifying 85k-85k+1 by obtaining a common denominator
a. Write the nth term of the partial sum.
Sn=(851-852)+(852-853)+(853-854)+cdots+
(Type an exact answer.)
