If you don't know how to calculate the sum of a geometric progression,

the solution is the file joined.
else
[tex]ratio= \frac{-1}{3} \\ u_{1} =5\\ u_{2} =5* \frac{-1}{3} \\ u_{3} =5* (\frac{-1}{3})^2 \\ u_{4} =5* (\frac{-1}{3})^3 \\ u_{n} =5* (\frac{-1}{3})^{n-1} \\ sum= u_{1} * \dfrac{1}{1-( \frac{-1}{3})} =5*3/4=15/4=3.75 [/tex]
