Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the general equation for an arithmetic sequence,

a_{n}=a_{1}+d(n-1),

where aₙ is the number of minutes for movie n,

a₁ is the length of the first movie in minutes, and

d is the difference between each movie, in minutes

Our sequence is this:

a_{n}=70+2(n-1)

If we want the length of the second movie (we already know the length of the first), we fill in n with 2:

a_{2}=70+2(2-1)

which gives us a length of 72.  Now for the length of movie n = 3:

a_{3}=70+2(3-1)

which gives us a length of 74.  Now for the length of movie n = 4:

a_{4}=70+2(4-1)

which gives us a length of 76.  One more and I'm sure you'll notice the pattern:

a_{5}=70+2(5-1)

which gives us a length of 78.  Now we will find the length of the 14th movie and add up by 2's all the way up to that number of minutes:

a_{14}=70+2(14-1)

which gives up a length of 96 minutes.  We will add up by 2's from 70 to 96:

70+72+74+76+78+80+82+84+86+88+90+92+94+96=1,162 min
