Which is the correct rule for the sequence (12,25,42,63,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a_n=2n^2+7n+3\)

For option A, substituting \(n=1,2,3,4\) gives \(12,25,42,63\), respectively. Also, the first differences are \(13,17,21\), so the second differences are constant at \(4\); this supports a quadratic rule. Option C matches the first two terms but gives \(40\), not \(42\), when \(n=3\). Exam tip: test a proposed rule with at least three terms, not just the first term.
