Use the approach in Gauss's Problem to find the following sums of arithmetic sequences.
A. 1+2+3+4+...+1001
![### Arithmetic Series Sums Using Gauss's Approach
Gauss's approach to summing arithmetic series involves recognizing patterns in the sequences and applying a formula for efficiency.
#### Problem 1.1.A-1
Use the approach in Gauss's **Problem** to find the following sums of arithmetic sequences:
#### Questions:
**a.** \(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + \ldots + 1001\)
**b.** \(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + \ldots + 103\)
**c.** \(8 + 17 + 26 + 35 + \ldots + 890\)
**d.** \(293 + 290 + 287 + 284 + \ldots + 2\)
#### Example Solution:
**a. The sum of the sequence is** \[ \boxed{} \]
### Instructions:
1. Enter your answer in the answer box and then click **Check Answer**.
### Assessment:
You have **3 parts** remaining to complete.
Utilize the concepts of arithmetic sums, identify common differences, first and last terms of the sequences, and apply the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
\[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (a + l) \]
where:
- \( S_n \) is the sum of the arithmetic series,
- \( n \) is the number of terms,
- \( a \) is the first term,
- \( l \) is the last term.
You are encouraged to solve each part step-by-step and verify your results.
Good luck!](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F31b55198-299b-40af-822f-8536b91cff39%2Fee5c83a3-6b22-4b79-b2d4-af5f1b0d0296%2Fxqcdfp9_reoriented.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
