Which of the following sequences has a general term that is a quadratic polynomial (degree 2) in \(n\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(1,4,9,16,\ldots\)

For \(1,4,9,16,\ldots\), \(a_n=n^2\), so the rule has degree 2. The first differences are 3, 5, 7, giving a constant second difference of 2. Exam tip: constant second differences indicate a quadratic sequence.
