If aₙ = 6n² − 5n + 2, what is a₄ : a₂?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 39 : 8

The governing concept is substitution into an explicit sequence rule followed by reduction of a ratio. For n = 4, calculate a₄ = 6(4²) − 5(4) + 2 = 96 − 20 + 2 = 78. For n = 2, calculate a₂ = 6(2²) − 5(2) + 2 = 24 − 10 + 2 = 16. Hence a₄ : a₂ = 78 : 16. The common factor of 78 and 16 is 2, so divide both parts by 2 to obtain 39 : 8. Therefore option B is correct. Option A contains the correct unsimplified values but is not in simplest form. Options C and D result from incorrect substitution or arithmetic and do not represent the given formula.
