Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

a_n =8n-14

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term for the arithmetic equation is give by:

a_n = a_1+(n-1)d             ....[A]

where,

a_1 is the first term

d is the common difference and

n is the number of term.

As per the statement:

The fourth term in an arithmetic sequence is 18 and the seventh term is 42

⇒a_4 = 18 and a_7 = 42

then by above definition we have;

a_1+3d = 18             .....[1]

a_1+6d = 42            .....[2]

Subtract equation [1] from [2] we have;

3d = 24

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

d = 8

Substitute in [1] we have;

a_1+24 = 18

Subtract 24 from both sides we have;

a_1=-6

We have to find the equation for the nth term of this sequence

Substitute the given values in [A] we have;

a_n = -6+(n-1)\cdot 8

⇒a_n = -6+8n-8

⇒a_n =8n-14

Therefore, an equation for the nth term of this sequence is, a_n =8n-14
