What is the general term of the sequence (8, 15, 22, 29, …)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: aₙ = 7n + 1

Direct answer: aₙ = 7n + 1, so option A is correct. The consecutive differences are 15−8 = 7, 22−15 = 7, and 29−22 = 7. Therefore the sequence is arithmetic with first term a₁ = 8 and common difference d = 7. Use aₙ = a₁ + (n−1)d: aₙ = 8 + 7(n−1) = 8 + 7n − 7 = 7n + 1. Substitution confirms the pattern: n = 1 gives 8, n = 2 gives 15, n = 3 gives 22, and n = 4 gives 29. Option B, 8n, starts correctly at 8 but increases by 8, giving 16 next instead of 15. Option C, 7n−1, gives 6 at n = 1. Option D, n+7, gives the first term correctly but increases by only 1. Option A is the only rule satisfying both the initial value and the constant difference. A reliable habit is to check these two conditions rather than checking only one term.
