In a sequence, (a_n=7n-5). What is (a_{n+1}-a_n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (7)

The sequence rule is linear: each term is obtained by multiplying its position by 7 and then subtracting 5. To find the change from one term to the next, first replace n by n+1. This gives \(a_{n+1}=7(n+1)-5=7n+2\). Now subtract the original term: \(a_{n+1}-a_n=(7n+2)-(7n-5)=7\). The variable terms cancel completely.

Therefore, option A, 7, is correct. The result can also be understood without expansion: increasing n by 1 increases \(7n\) by 7, while the constant \(-5\) does not change. Options 5 and 2 confuse the constant or the new expression with the difference. The supplied answer and explanation correctly identify the constant first difference of this linear sequence.
