Answer:

5,181

Explanation:

The arithmetic sequence has a common difference d = 9 which is the difference between successive terms

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by

S_n = (n(a_1 + a_n))/(2)

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by
aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1)

where a₁ = first term

In this particular sequence, a₁ = 13 and d = 9

Therefore
a₃₃ = 13 + 9(33-1)
= 13 + 9(32)

= 13 + 288

= 301

Therefore
