Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of the given arithmetic sequence is

The first term of this series is:

The last term of this series is when



The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series when the first an last term is known is given by:

Where a=5 is the first term and l=27 is the last term.


because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.
By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).
Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.
summary:
multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.
add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)
Essentially, the rule goes as so: odd + odd = even, even + even = even.
Although that may not be the answer you're looking for, it is a math rule that is never debunked and essentially the premises for why you get an even sum practically always depending on the numbers.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
D
