A child learns (7) new words on the first day and (3) more words each next day. How many words will be learned in (9) days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 171

The numbers of words learned each day form an AP with first term \(a=7\), common difference \(d=3\), and \(n=9\) terms. Therefore, \(S_9=\frac{9}{2}[2(7)+(9-1)\times3]=\frac{9}{2}(38)=171\). Hence, the child learns 171 words in 9 days. A value such as 180 results from an incorrect count of terms or common difference. Exam tip: when the total is asked, use the sum formula \(S_n\), not just the nth-term formula.
