Answer:

a_n represents a particular any term and a_{n-1} represents just previous term.

a_8=38

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given recursive formula,

a_n= a_{n-1}+5

a_n represents n^{th} \ term

and a_{n-1}represents just its previous term.

To find a_8, first five terms are given there. We need to find its previous terms a_6 \ and\ a_7

a_6 = a_{n-1}+5\\a_6= a_{6-1}+5\\a_6 = a_5 +5\\substitute \ a_5 =23\\a_6 = 23+5=28

Similarly,

a_7 = a_{n-1}+5\\a_7= a_{7-1}+5\\a_7 = a_6 +5\\substitute \ a_6 =28\\a_7 = 28+5=33

Similarly,

a_8 = a_{8-1}+5\\a_8= a_{8-1}+5\\a_8 = a_7 +5\\substitute \ a_7 =33\\a_8 = 33+5=38

Thus a_8 = 38 is the answer.
