Answer:
The sum of the series is: 749
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]a_1 = 8[/tex]
[tex]a_{14} = 99[/tex]
[tex]n = 14[/tex]
Required
The sum of the series
This is calculated using:
[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[a_1 + a_n][/tex]
Substitute 14 for n
[tex]S_{14} = \frac{14}{2}[a_1 + a_{14}][/tex]
[tex]S_{14} = 7[a_1 + a_{14}][/tex]
Substitute values for a1 and a14
[tex]S_{14} = 7[8 + 99][/tex]
[tex]S_{14} = 7*107[/tex]
[tex]S_{14} = 749[/tex]
