If (a_1=3) and (a_{n+1}=4a_n), what is (a_3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 48

By the recursive rule, each next term is 4 times the preceding term. Thus, \(a_2=4\times3=12\) and \(a_3=4\times12=48\). Therefore, 48 is correct. The value 24 would result from multiplying \(a_2\) by 2, so it does not follow the given rule. Exam tip: to find \(a_3\), apply the rule twice starting from \(a_1\).
