What is the value of (S_{28}+28)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 434
The sum of the first 28 natural numbers is \(S_{28}=\frac{28\times29}{2}=406\). Therefore, \(S_{28}+28=406+28=434\). Option 435 is \(S_{29}\), because 29—not 28—is added to 406. Exam tip: Use \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\), then add the separately given number carefully.
