==========================
This is an arithmetic sequence with a_1 = 4, and a common difference of 3.
The formula for the n-th term is:
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
a_n = 4 + 3(n-1) = 3n + 1
So the 30th term is a_30 = 3*30 + 1 = 91
The sum of the 1st n terms of an arithmetic sequence is:
S_n = (n/2)(a_1 + a_n)
So S_30 = (30/2)(4+91) = 95*15 = 1425
