Recall

Proof by induction for sums — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Define \(S_n=\sum_{r=1}^n(12r+11)\) for positive integers n.

Find the sum from \(\displaystyle r=1\) to \(\displaystyle r=13\) of 12r+11.

Enter one number or fraction. Use at least six decimal places when needed; a distribution calculator may be used for probabilities.
