What is the general term (a_n) of the sequence (7,12,17,22,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (5n+2)

The direct answer is option A, \(a_n=5n+2\). This is an arithmetic sequence because the difference is constant: \(12-7=5\), \(17-12=5\), and \(22-17=5\). For an arithmetic sequence, use \(a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\). Here \(a_1=7\) and \(d=5\), so \(a_n=7+(n-1)5=7+5n-5=5n+2\). Checking: for \(n=1\), it gives 7; for \(n=2\), 12; for \(n=3\), 17; and for \(n=4\), 22. Option A works exactly. Option B gives 12 as its first term, so it starts at the second given term. Option C gives 12, 19, 26, so its differences and starting value are wrong. Option D gives 7, 19, 31, so it does not match the sequence. Memory cue: first term plus repeated difference means \(a_1+(n-1)d\), not \(a_1+nd\).
