If (a_1=120) and (a_{n+1}=a_n-n(n+3)), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 88

Substitute n=1, 2, and 3 in the recursive rule. The amounts subtracted are 1(1+3)=4, 2(2+3)=10, and 3(3+3)=18. Thus, a_2=120-4=116, a_3=116-10=106, and a_4=106-18=88. Therefore, 88 is correct. An option such as 90 can result from an incorrect subtraction in the final step. Exam tip: to find a_4, apply the rule only for n=1 through n=3.
