    This document contains 3 math problems involving arithmetic and geometric sequences. Problem 1 involves finding the 20th term, sum of the first 20 terms, and product of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic sequence. Problem 2 involves finding terms, the sum of the first 10 terms in the form of m, and explaining why the infinite sum does not exist for a geometric sequence. Problem 3 involves finding the sum of the first two terms of an arithmetic sequence given the 5th and 9th terms.
