If aₙ = 6n² − n + 4, what is a₄ : a₂?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 48 : 13

Direct answer: option B, 48 : 13. First evaluate the two requested terms separately. For n = 4, a₄ = 6(4²) − 4 + 4 = 6×16 = 96. For n = 2, a₂ = 6(2²) − 2 + 4 = 24 − 2 + 4 = 26. Therefore a₄ : a₂ = 96 : 26. A ratio is normally written in simplest form, and both parts are divisible by 2. Dividing both by 2 gives 48 : 13. Hence B is the required answer. Option A is the correct unsimplified ratio, but it is not in simplest form. Option C reverses the requested order: it represents a₂ : a₄ after simplification, not a₄ : a₂. Option D does not result from correct substitution and arithmetic. The key warning is to calculate each term before simplifying the ratio; do not simplify the formula itself in a way that changes the order or value.
