Question

Which spreadsheet would be used to compute the first five partial sums of the arithmetic series? an=-6(n-1)+4

Answer 1

A spreadsheet with a reference to cell C1 in cell C1 has a "circular reference" and will generate an error, so the first two choices are excluded as possible answers. The caret (^) in the formulas in the last spreadsheet is an exponentiation operator, inappropriate to an arithmetic sequence, so the last choice is excluded.

The appropriate choice is the 3rd one.
