This problem involves calculating the sum of an arithmetic series and then adding a product term.
The series is $1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + \dots + 4033$. This is an arithmetic progression (AP) consisting of consecutive odd numbers.
To find the sum, we first need the number of terms ($n$). Use the AP formula: $l = a + (n-1)d$.
$4033 = 1 + (n-1)2$
Subtract 1 from both sides:
$4032 = (n-1)2$
Divide by 2:
$2016 = n-1$
Solve for $n$:
$n = 2017$
Now, calculate the sum ($S_n$) using the formula $S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a+l)$.
$S_{2017} = \frac{2017}{2}(1 + 4033)$
$S_{2017} = \frac{2017}{2}(4034)$
$S_{2017} = 2017 \times 2017$
$S_{2017} = 2017^2$
The second part of the expression is the product: $7983 \times 2017$.
The total value required is $(1+3+5+...+4033) + 7983 \times 2017$.
Substitute the sum calculated in Step 1:
$ 2017^2 + 7983 \times 2017 $
Notice that 2017 is a common factor. Factor it out:
$ 2017 \times (2017 + 7983) $
Calculate the sum inside the parentheses:
$ 2017 \times (10000) $
Perform the final multiplication:
$ 20170000 $
The final value is 20170000.
Identify the number that will replace the question mark in the second equation based on the relationship represented in the first equation.
