If (a_1=90) and (a_{n+1}=a_n-(n^2+n)), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 70

Substitute n=1, 2, and 3 in the recursive rule. The quantities subtracted are 2, 6, and 12 respectively. Thus, a_2=90-2=88, a_3=88-6=82, and a_4=82-12=70. Therefore, 70 is correct. The value 72 can result from using an incorrect value for n^2+n in the third step. Exam tip: to find a_4 from a_1, apply the rule three times.
