Answer:

[tex]\sum_{x=1}^{4}(17-4n)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

[tex]13+9+5+1[/tex]

The terms of this series are

13,9,5,1

It is an AP. Here, first term is 13 and common ratio is -4.

The nth term of an AP is

[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]

where, a is first term and d is common difference.

The nth term of given AP is

[tex]a_n=13+(n-1)(-4)[/tex]

[tex]a_n=13-4n+4[/tex]

[tex]a_n=17-4n[/tex]

The summation formula of an AP is

[tex]\sum_{x=1}^{n}a_n[/tex]

The value of n is 4 because the number of term is 4. So, the summation formula is

[tex]\sum_{x=1}^{4}(17-4n)[/tex]
