We know that
the nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be written in the following way:

an = a1+(n - 1)d

Where a1 is the first term, and d<span> is the common difference.
</span>
for a3=13  n=3
a3=a1+(n-1)*d----> 13=a1+(3-1)*d----> 13=a1+2*d-----> equation 1

for a17=-29  n=17
a17=a1+(n-1)*d----> -29=a1+(17-1)*d----> -29=a1+16*d-----> equation 2

using a graph tool------> to resolve the equations system
see the attached figure
the solution is 
a1=19
d=-3

find a8
a1=19  d=-3   n=8
a8=19+(8-1)*(-3)----> a8=19+(-21)------> a8=-2

the answer is
a8 is -2

Which expressions are polynomials?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Option A: z + 1

Option B: 6 + w

Option D: 2 x^{4}-y

Solution:

Let us first define the polynomial.

A polynomial can have constants, variables, exponents and fractional coefficients.

A polynomial cannot have negative exponents, fractional exponents and never divided by a variable.

<u>To find which expressions are polynomial:</u>

Option A: z + 1

By the definition, z + 1 is a polynomial.

It is polynomial.

Option B: 6 + w

By the definition, 6 + w is a polynomial.

It is polynomial.

Option C: y^{2}-\sqrt[3]{y}+4

y^{2}-\sqrt[3]{y}+4=y^{2}-{y}^{1/3}+4

Here, y have fractional exponent.

So, it is not a polynomial.

Option D: 2 x^{4}-y

By the definition, 2 x^{4}-y is a polynomial.

It is polynomial.

Hence z + 1, 6 +w and 2 x^{4}-y are polynomials.
