If (a_1=6) and (a_{n+1}=a_n+a_1+n(n+1)), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 44

The recurrence adds the fixed first term \(a_1=6\) at every step. For \(n=1\), \(a_2=6+6+1(2)=14\); for \(n=2\), \(a_3=14+6+2(3)=26\); and for \(n=3\), \(a_4=26+6+3(4)=44\). Therefore, the correct answer is 44. A value such as 47 can result from incorrectly evaluating \(n(n+1)\) or using the wrong step number. Exam tip: to find \(a_4\), apply the rule successively with \(n=1,2,3\).
