Answer:

9 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1, 8, 28, 56, ..., 1

Required

Determine the number of sequence

To determine the number of sequence, we need to understand how the sequence are generated

The sequence are generated using

$\left[\begin{array}{c}n&&r\end{array}\right] = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Where n = 8 and r = 0,1....8

When r = 0

$\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&0\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-0)!0!} = \frac{8!}{8!0!} = 1$

When r = 1

$\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&1\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-1)!1!} = \frac{8!}{7!1!} = \frac{8 * 7!}{7! * 1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8$

When r = 2

$\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&2\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6!}{6! * 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7}{2 *1} =2 8$

When r = 3

$\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&3\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-3)!3!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5!}{5! *3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6}{3 *2 *1} = 56$

When r = 4

$\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&4\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-4)!4!} = \frac{8!}{4!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4!}{4! *4*3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6*5}{4*3 *2 *1} = 70$

When r = 5

$\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&5\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-5)!5!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5!}{5! *3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6}{3 *2 *1} = 56$
