Answer:

Lower limit of the sum: 0

Upper limit of the sum: 17

Explicit formula: ∑
_(i=0) ^(17)(3+7i)

Explanation:

Noting that each row has 7 more beads than the previous one and that the series also begins with 3, the formula is:


_(i=0) ^(17)(3+7i)

The lower limit is 0, since 3+ (7 * 0) = 3

When i = 0 you get the value of beads from the first row, when i = 1 you get the value of beads from the second row and so on. Given this, the upper limit is 17.
