Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₅ is double a₇ , then

a₁ + 4d = 2(a₁ + 6d) , that is

a₁ + 4d = 2a₁ + 12d ( subtract a₁ from both sides )

4d = a₁ + 12d ( subtract 12d from both sides )

- 8d = a₁

The sum of n terms of an AP is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , substitute values

S_{17} = \frac{17}{2} ( 2(- 8d) + 16d)

     = 8.5(- 16d + 16d)

     = 8.5 × 0

     = 0
