please help !! Write the following arithmetic series in summation notation. 9+13+17+....+45 Please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do we do to 9 to get 13? Add 4 yes? How about getting from 13 to 17? It looks like we are adding 4 every time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the question mark would be 4 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No the question mark at the bottom of the summation is the initial n value to give the first term in the series.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shawmoes are you saying to add 9 to n every time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Austin6i6 My mistake I wrote it wrong!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be pretty straight forward

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the question mark is 1 correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No you need to replace it with the number that each input is being added by
