Write the recursive, arithmetic and explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence: 8, 1, -6, -13,... Then find the 10th term

Recursive Formula

The top row says the first term is 8

The bottom row says that to get the nth term, we subtract 7 from the (n-1)th term. So basically we subtract 7 from each term to get the next term.

Note the subscripts tell us which term we're working with.

======================================================

Arithmetic Formula

We have a = 8 as the first term and d = -7 as the common difference.

a(n) = a + d(n-1)

a(n) = 8 + (-7)(n-1)

a(n) = 8 - 7n + 7

a(n) = -7n+15

The nth term arithmetic formula is a(n) = -7n+15

If you plug in n = 1, you should get a(n) = 8

If you plug in n = 2, you should get a(n) = 1

and so on.

=======================================================

Finding the 10th term

Plug in n = 10 to get

a(n) = -7n+15

a(10) = -7(10)+15

a(10) = -70+15

a(10) = -55

The 10th term is -55

you would need to know all the numbers that are on there

step-by-step explanation:

7! = 7×6×5×4×3×2

3! = 3× 2

as 7! is multiple of 3! because 7! contains 3! that is 3× 2 as factor

so 7! /(3! ) = 7× 6× 5× 4

= 42 × 20

= 840

its b) 840✌✌✌
