The arithmetic sequence general formula is an = a1 + d *(n-1) where d is the arithmetic difference and n is an integer. In this case, upon derivation, the formula that represents the sum of the series is S = (a1  + an)*(n/2). Substituting, S = (3+75)*(10/2) equal to 390

Answer:

b. 390

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a_1 =3\\a_n=75\\n=10\\\\use \ the \ arithmetic\  formula \\\\S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)\\S_1_0=\frac{10}{2} (3+75)\\\\ \\S_1_0= 5 (78)\\\\S_1_0=390\\[/tex]
