If (a_1=3) and (a_{n+1}=n a_n+4), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 58

In a recursive rule, substitute the current index value at each step. For \(n=1\), \(a_2=1\times3+4=7\). Then, for \(n=2\), \(a_3=2\times7+4=18\), and for \(n=3\), \(a_4=3\times18+4=58\). Therefore, 58 is correct. An answer such as 52 may result from not changing \(n\) correctly at every step. Exam tip: write down the value of \(n\) before calculating each next term.
