If (a_n=n+4), what is the value of (a_7)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 11
The general term is \(a_n=n+4\). Substituting \(n=7\), we get \(a_7=7+4=11\). Therefore, 11 is the correct option. The value 10 would result if 3 were added instead of 4. Exam tip: To find a particular term, substitute its term number for \(n\) in the general rule.
