Total membership for a year is $588

Total membership for 5 years is $60

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence of the form:

60, 58, 56, 54 ...

The first term is a = 60

the common difference is d = -2

We need to find the total member cost for a year, that is the sum of all the first 12 terms. We use the formula of sum of arithmetic sequence shown below:

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

Where

a is first term

n is the number of term [here, 12]

d is common difference

From what we know, we can find:

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}[2(60)+(12-1)(-2)]\\S_{12}=588$

Total membership for a year is $588

Now to find this for 5 years, we have to find 5*12 = 60 months.

So S_60, formula and find:

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\S_{60}=\frac{60}{2}[2(60)+(60-1)(-2)]\\S_{60}=60$

Total membership for 5 years is $60
