The first row of an auditorium has 24 seats, and each succeeding row has 4 more seats. A student says that the row with 100 seats is the 19th row because they used \(24+4n=100\). After correcting the student's error, which is the correct row?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20

The increase is zero for the first row, so the formula is \(a_n=24+4(n-1)\), not \(24+4n\). From \(24+4(n-1)=100\), we get \(n-1=19\), hence \(n=20\). The 19th row has only 96 seats. In exams, always check the \(n-1\) term.
