How do I do place value with whole numbers
1 answer:
Short answer: the same way you do it with any other kind of numbers.
"Place value" means the value of a number comes from where it is (its place) in relation to the decimal point. The digit immediately to the left of the decimal point is the units digit, so tells you the number of units represented.
Each digit to the left of the units digit has a place value that is 10 times that of the digit to its right. Each digit to the right of the units digit (hence to the right of the decimal point) has a place value that is 1/10 that of the digit to its left.
The places have names (see attached).
_____
You can find the place value of a digit by setting all the other digits in the number to zero. For example, the place value of 2 in the number 324 is 020, or 20.

Answer:
a₈ = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
The given arithmetic sequence is: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, . . .
The recursive formula for the sequence is:
Here, represents the
of the sequence.
And, represents the
of the sequence.
'+5' denotes that '5' is added to the term to get the
term. In other words, the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence is 5.
Now, we are asked to find a₈ i.e., n =8.
Substituting in the recursive formula we get: a₈ = a₍₈₋ ₁₎ + 5 = a₇ + 5.
So, to determine a₈ we need to know a₇. From the sequence we see that a₅ = 23.
⇒ a₆ = 23 + 5 = 28.
⇒ a₇ = 28 + 5 = 32.
⇒ a₈ = 32 + 5 = 37.
Therefore, the term of the sequence is 37.
