Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a sequence is defined by a_n = 3n + 1, what is a_5?
Correct Answer: 16
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for the sequence, which is a_n = 3n + 1.
  • Step 2: Substitute n with 5 in the formula to find a_5. So, we have a_5 = 3(5) + 1.
  • Step 3: Calculate 3 times 5, which is 15.
  • Step 4: Add 1 to the result from Step 3. So, 15 + 1 equals 16.
  • Step 5: Therefore, a_5 is 16.
