If (a_n=n^3), what is the fourth term?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(64\)
For the fourth term, substitute \(n=4\). Thus, \(a_4=4^3=4\times4\times4=64\). Therefore, \(64\) is the correct answer. \(16\) is a close distractor because it equals \(4^2\), not \(4^3\). Exam tip: \(n^3\) means multiplying \(n\) by itself three times.
