If (a_1=2), (a_2=3), and (a_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}), what is (a_5)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(13\)

By the recursive rule, each new term is the sum of the two preceding terms. Thus, \(a_3=2+3=5\), \(a_4=3+5=8\), and \(a_5=5+8=13\). Therefore, the correct answer is \(13\). Note that \(8\) is \(a_4\), not \(a_5\). Exam tip: write each intermediate term in order until you reach the required term.
