Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 35

For the sixth term, put n=6: a_6=6^2-1=36-1=35. Therefore, 35 is the correct answer. Although 36 is a close option, it is the value before subtracting 1. Exam tip: To find an nth term, substitute the value of n first and then perform the operations in order.
