A student learns (12) words on the first day and (4) more words each next day. How many words will he learn on the (9)th day?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 44

This is an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=12\) and common difference \(d=4\). The nth term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Therefore, \(a_9=12+(9-1)\times4=12+32=44\). Hence, 44 is correct. Choosing 42 would result from incorrectly counting the terms or the daily increase. Exam tip: use \(n-1\), not \(n\), in the nth-term formula.
