Arithmetic Series and Sequences

The video tutorial explains how to find the sum of an arithmetic sequence starting from 3 and ending at 723. It covers identifying the sequence, calculating the number of terms, and using a specific technique to find the sum. The sequence has a common difference of 6, and the sum is calculated to be 43,923.

What is the closed formula for the sequence given the first term is 3 and the common difference is 6?

• a_n = 3 + 6n

• a_n = 6 + 3n

• a_n = 3n + 6

• a_n = 6n + 3
