\

Statement :

\

If the first three terms of a sequence are positive, then all of the terms of the sequence are

\

positive or the sum of the series is positive.

\

The statement is False.

\

If the common difference is negative, then it is possible for the first \"\" terms to be positive, and the remaining terms to be negative.

\

So, the sum could also be negative.

\

Consider the sequence \"\" Find the common difference.

\

\"\"

\

Use the common difference of \"\" to find the next three terms.

\

\"\"

\

The terms in the sequence are not all positive. 

\

\"\"

\

Find the sum of the first \"\" terms in the sequence.

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the sum is non negative.
