What is the 8th term in the following sequence? 28, 33, 38, 43.
To find the 8th term in the sequence, you can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:
an = a1 + (n-1)d
Where:
an = the nth term of the sequence
a1 = the first term in the sequence
d = the common difference between each term
In this case:
a1 = 28
d = 5 (the difference between each term is 5)
So, to find the 8th term:
a8 = 28 + (8-1)*5
a8 = 28 + 7*5
a8 = 63
Therefore, the 8th term in the sequence is 63.
To find the 8th term in the sequence, we need to determine the pattern or formula followed.
In this sequence, each term increases by 5. So, the pattern is that each term is obtained by adding 5 to the previous term.
To find the 8th term, we start with the first term, 28, and add 5 seven times:
28 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 73
Therefore, the 8th term in the sequence is 73.
