IN THE ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE -8,-5-2, WHICH TERM 13?
Answer (1)
Arithmetic sequence[tex]\\ [/tex]Here's how to solve the problem:Arithmetic sequence formula:[tex] \sf {a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d}[/tex]where:[tex] \sf {a_1}[/tex] is the first term, which is -8[tex] \sf {a_n}[/tex] is the nth term of the sequence[tex] \sf {d}[/tex] is the common difference [tex] \sf {n}[/tex] is the position of the term in a sequence[tex]\\ [/tex]Solution:13 = -8 + (n-1)321 = (n-1)37 = n-1n = 8 [tex]\\ [/tex]Final answer:The 8th term is 13.
