If S_n = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d], a = 9, d = 1, and n = 14, what is the value of S_n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 217

The governing concept is direct and careful substitution in the arithmetic-progression sum formula S_n = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]. The supplied values are a = 9, d = 1, and n = 14. Therefore S_14 = 14/2[2(9) + (14 - 1)(1)] = 7[18 + 13] = 7 × 31 = 217. Thus option A is correct. The expression n - 1 is essential because the distance from the first term to the nth term contains n - 1 common differences. Replacing n - 1 by n would give 224, one of the distractors. The other values result from arithmetic or substitution mistakes, not from the given formula.
