Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the sequence: The given expression is \( \sum_{i=1}^{17} (5i + 3) \), which represents an arithmetic sequence.
Find the first term: Substitute \( i = 1 \) into the expression \( 5i + 3 \) to get the first term.
Find the second term: Substitute \( i = 2 \) into the expression \( 5i + 3 \) to get the second term.
Find the third term: Substitute \( i = 3 \) into the expression \( 5i + 3 \) to get the third term.
Find the last term: Substitute \( i = 17 \) into the expression \( 5i + 3 \) to get the last term.
