1. **State the problem:** We are given the sequence formula $u_n = 5 + 4(n-1)$ and need to determine if 116 is a term in this sequence.
2. **Write the formula:** The general term of the sequence is given by
$$u_n = 5 + 4(n-1)$$
3. **Set the term equal to 116:** To check if 116 is a term, set
$$116 = 5 + 4(n-1)$$
4. **Solve for $n$:**
$$116 = 5 + 4n - 4$$
$$116 = 1 + 4n$$
$$116 - 1 = 4n$$
$$115 = 4n$$
$$n = \frac{115}{4}$$
5. **Simplify and interpret:**
$$n = 28.75$$
Since $n$ must be a positive integer (term number in the sequence), and $28.75$ is not an integer, 116 is **not** a term in the sequence.
**Final answer:** 116 is not a term in the sequence defined by $u_n = 5 + 4(n-1)$.
