If (a_n=150-11n), what is the value of (a_7)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(73\)
Given \(a_n=150-11n\), substitute \(n=7\): \(a_7=150-11\times7=150-77=73\). Hence, \(73\) is correct. \(77\) is only the value of \(11\times7\), not the value of \(a_7\). Exam tip: substitute the term number carefully, multiply first, and then subtract.
