Answer:

d. 242..................

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

[tex]S_{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 3 and d = 5, thus

[tex]S_{11}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex] [ (2 × - 3) + (10 × 5) ]

      = 5.5(- 6 + 50)

       = 5.5 × 44

       = 242 → d
