If (a_n=6n+6), what is the sixth term?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 42
For the sixth term, substitute \(n=6\): \(a_6=6(6)+6=36+6=42\). Therefore, 42 is correct. The closest distractor, 36, results from missing the final \(+6\). Exam tip: first substitute the term number in the formula, then simplify step by step.
