If (a_n=7n-9), what will be the sum of the first (18) terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1035)

Direct answer: option C, 1035. The formula a_n=7n-9 gives each term directly. For the first term, put n=1: a1=7(1)-9=-2. For the eighteenth term, put n=18: a18=7(18)-9=126-9=117. These terms form an AP with common difference 7, so use S18=18/2(a1+a18)=9(-2+117)=9×115=1035. Option A, 995, is too small and does not result from the correct endpoints. Option B, 1015, also reflects an arithmetic or indexing error. Option C, 1035, matches the exact sum. Option D, 1055, is too large and may result from mishandling the negative first term. The key point is that a_n uses the position n: use n=1 for the first term and n=18 for the last term. As a check, direct summation of the linear rule gives the same result.
