If (a_1=1) and (a_{n+1}=2a_n+n^2), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 29

Use the value of n for each step in the recursive rule. Starting with a_1=1, for n=1, a_2=2(1)+1^2=3. Then, for n=2, a_3=2(3)+2^2=10, and for n=3, a_4=2(10)+3^2=29. Therefore, 29 is correct. A value such as 31 can result from using an incorrect square in the final step. Exam tip: increase n one step at a time while finding a_{n+1}.
