If (a_1=5) and (a_{n+1}=2a_n+n^2), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 61

In the recursive rule, double the current term and then add the square of the step number. \(a_2=2(5)+1^2=11\), \(a_3=2(11)+2^2=26\), and \(a_4=2(26)+3^2=61\). Therefore, 61 is correct. A value such as 59 results from not adding \(3^2\) correctly in the final step. Exam tip: to find \(a_4\), apply the rule successively for \(n=1,2,3\).
