Answer:
8, 4, 0, -4, - 8, .........
Step-by-step explanation:
The n the term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 8 and a₁₅ = - 48, then
8 + 14d = - 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
14d = - 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )
d = - 4
To obtain the progression subtract 4 from each term, that is
8, 4, 0, - 4, - 8, ......
