How to find a formula for the nth partial sum of a sequence? A general strategy is to compute the first few partial sums and then look for a pattern. Also, remember we have the nth partial sum formula for arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences.

0:00 Q1 nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence
5:29 Q2 nth partial sum of 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ...
8:47 Q3 nth partial sum of a geometric sequence
13:14 Q4 nth partial sum of a geometric sequence with a negative common ratio
16:39 Q5 telescoping partial sum
