Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Write down the given formula for the nth term.

    The nth term of the sequence is given by:
    aₙ = n(n-1)

  2. Calculate the 4th term by substituting n = 4 into the formula.

    a₄ = 4(4-1)
    a₄ = 4(3)
    a₄ = 12

  3. Calculate the 7th term by substituting n = 7 into the formula.

    a₇ = 7(7-1)
    a₇ = 7(6)
    a₇ = 42

    The 4th term is 12 and the 7th term is 42.
