![**Question:**
Find \( S_4 \) (sum of the first 4 terms) when,
\[ s_n = 24 - 6n \]
**Options:**
- **A** \( S_4 = 24 \)
- **B** \( S_4 = 12 \)
- **C** \( S_4 = 6 \)
- **D** \( S_4 = 34 \)
- **E** \( S_4 = 36 \)
**Explanation:**
The problem asks to find the sum of the first four terms of a sequence where the general term \( s_n \) is given by the formula \( s_n = 24 - 6n \).
You need to calculate:
\[
S_4 = s_1 + s_2 + s_3 + s_4
\]
where each \( s_n \) is substituted from \( s_n = 24 - 6n \).
This type of problem involves arithmetic series concepts where each subsequent term is defined in relation to its position \( n \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F10c6527d-29e3-4038-8af3-a11cd913e02d%2Fdc82c7bd-5e66-4a36-9a8c-b268cfc081bc%2Fvk5e2l1_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
