Question

Question number 8 please please fast

Answer 1

Answer:

$a_n=-\frac{1}{n}$

$a_6=-\frac{1}{6}$ is our sixth term.

$a_7=-\frac{1}{7}$  is our seventh term.

$a_8=-\frac{1}{8}$ is our eighth term.

Step-by-step explanation:

So every number in this sequence is -.

If you write 1 as 1/1, then you should see the numerator is constant one while the denominator is going up by 1 each time.

So the patter is

$a_n=-\frac{1}{n}$

Test if you like:

n=1 gives us $a_1=-\frac{1}{1}=-1$ which is our first term.

n=2 gives us $a_2=-\frac{1}{2}$ which is our second term.

n=3 gives us $a_3=-\frac{1}{3}$ which is our third term.

n=4 gives us $a_4=-\frac{1}{4}$ which is our fourth term.

n=5 gives us $a_5=-\frac{1}{5}$ which is our fifth term.

Now we are going to use $a_n=-\frac{1}{n}$

to write our next three terms:

n=6 gives us $a_6=-\frac{1}{6}$ which is our sixth term.

n=7 gives us $a_7=-\frac{1}{7}$ which is our seventh term.

n=8 gives us $a_8=-\frac{1}{8}$ which is our eighth term.
