If the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression is S_n = 8n² − 3n, find the sum of the 51st term to the 70th term.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 19,140

The governing rule for a consecutive range is that the sum from the rth through the sth term equals S_s − S_{r−1}. Thus the sum from the 51st to the 70th term is S_70 − S_50. Calculate S_70 = 8(70²) − 3(70) = 8(4900) − 210 = 38,990. Next, S_50 = 8(50²) − 3(50) = 8(2500) − 150 = 19,850. The required sum is therefore 38,990 − 19,850 = 19,140. Hence option D is correct. Subtracting S_51 would exclude the 51st term, while using an incorrect square or sign would produce the other choices. The endpoint rule ensures that exactly terms 51 through 70 are included.
