An arithmetic series consists of consecutive integers that are multiples are of 4. what is the sum of the first nine terms of this sequence if the first term is 0 a. 160 b. 162 c. 180 d. 198

 The answer is 144.

Step-by-step explanation: Let 'a' be the first term and 'd' be the common difference of the given arithmetic progression (A.P.).

According to the given information, A.P. is {0, 4, 8, 12, 16, . . .}, i.e., a=0 and d=4.

The sum of first n terms is given by

So, the sum of first 9 terms is

Thus, the required sum is 144.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
