Question

If the nth term of a sequence is 18-8n what is the 8th term

Answer 1

Answer:

$a_{n} =18-8n\\a_{8} =18-8(8)=-46$

Answer 2

Answer:

-46

Step-by-step explanation:

(hello, I just answered your previous question--some stuff will sound similar because we are applying the same concept :)  )

We know that the nth term of the sequence is 18 - 8n

the "nth" term of a sequence means that you can plug in the term place to get the term value (ex. if the nth term is n + 2, we can plug any term in {let's say, the eighth term, 8 + 2 = 10 ; to get our term's value}  )

  18 - 8n is sequence

  18 - 8(8) is 8th term

  18 - 64 is 8th term

 -46 is the 8th term

hope this helps!! :)
