📊 Arithmetic Sequence:

Given an arithmetic sequence where:
• First term: \(a_1 = 9\)
• The common difference: \(d = 3\)

Find the sum of the first 17 terms \(S_{17}\).
Explanation:
Solution – Arithmetic Sequence:

📝 Important formulas:
\(a_n = a_1 + (n-1) \cdot d\)
\(S_n = \frac{n(a_1 + a_n)}{2} = \frac{n(2a_1 + (n-1)d)}{2}\)
🔢 Solution:
We will use the formula: \(S_n = \frac{n(2a_1 + (n-1)d)}{2}\)

\(S_{17} = \frac{17(2 \cdot 9 + (17-1) \cdot 3)}{2}\)

\(S_{17} = \frac{17(18 + 48)}{2}\)

📊 Arithmetic Sequence:

Given an arithmetic sequence where:
• First term: \(a_1 = 3\)
• The common difference: \(d = 4\)

Find the sum of the first 13 terms \(S_{13}\).
Explanation:
Solution – Arithmetic Sequence:

📝 Important formulas:
\(a_n = a_1 + (n-1) \cdot d\)
\(S_n = \frac{n(a_1 + a_n)}{2} = \frac{n(2a_1 + (n-1)d)}{2}\)
🔢 Solution:
We will use the formula: \(S_n = \frac{n(2a_1 + (n-1)d)}{2}\)

\(S_{13} = \frac{13(2 \cdot 3 + (13-1) \cdot 4)}{2}\)

\(S_{13} = \frac{13(6 + 48)}{2}\)

\(S_{13} = \frac{13 \cdot 54}{2} = \frac{702}{2} = 351\)
