If (a_n=9n+2), what is (k) for (a_{3k}-a_k=144)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 8

Given \(a_n=9n+2\), we have \(a_{3k}=9(3k)+2=27k+2\) and \(a_k=9k+2\). Hence, \(a_{3k}-a_k=(27k+2)-(9k+2)=18k\). Now \(18k=144\), so \(k=8\). Therefore, option C is correct. For the close distractor 9, the difference would be \(18\times9=162\), not 144. Exam tip: Write the terms for both indices separately before subtracting them.
