S_9 =3(9)^2 +9=252  S_(20) =3(20)^2 +20=1220  Σ_(k=10) ^(20) a_k =S_(20) −S_9 =1220−252=968

$${S}_{\mathrm{9}} =\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{9}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{9}=\mathrm{252} \\ $$$${S}_{\mathrm{20}} =\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{20}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{20}=\mathrm{1220} \\ $$$$\underset{{k}=\mathrm{10}} {\overset{\mathrm{20}} {\sum}}{a}_{{k}} ={S}_{\mathrm{20}} −{S}_{\mathrm{9}} =\mathrm{1220}−\mathrm{252}=\mathrm{968} \\ $$
