    The sum of the first 650 terms of the given arithmetic sequence is 2,322,775

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first term here is 4

    while the nth term would be ai = a (i-1) + 11

    Kindly note that i and 1 are subscript of a

    Mathematically, the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the formula

    Sn = n/2[2a + (n-1) d)

    Here, our n is 650, a is 4, d is the difference between two successive terms which is 11.

    Plugging these values, we have

    Sn = (650/2) (2 (4) + (650-1) 11)

    Sn = 325 (8 + 7,139)

    Sn = 325 (7,147)

    Sn = 2,322,775
