If \(a_n=3\cdot2^{n-1}\), what will be \(a_7\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 192
Substitute \(n=7\) in \(a_n=3\cdot2^{n-1}\): \(a_7=3\cdot2^{7-1}=3\cdot2^6=3\cdot64=192\). Therefore, 192 is the correct option. The value 96 results from incorrectly using the exponent 5 instead of 6. Exam tip: simplify the exponent \(n-1\) before evaluating the power.
