In the sequence (-1,6,13,20,\ldots), which term is (41)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (7)th term

The direct answer is option C: the seventh term. The sequence has a constant difference of 7: 6-(-1)=7, 13-6=7, and 20-13=7. Its arithmetic-rule form is a_n=-1+(n-1)7=-1+7n-7=7n-8. Set the required value equal to 41: 7n-8=41. Add 8: 7n=49. Divide by 7: n=7. Check: a_7=7(7)-8=49-8=41. Option A, fifth term, gives 7(5)-8=27. Option B, sixth term, gives 34. Option C, seventh term, gives 41 and is correct. Option D, eighth term, gives 48. The key is to find the position, not merely continue the list without a rule. Memory cue: equal differences indicate an arithmetic sequence; write its general term and then solve for n.
