Find the 52nd term of the arithmetic sequence-8, -12, -16,...

-212

Step-by-step explanation:

This question seems to be incrementing by steps of -4, starting at -8.  To get the 52'nd term, we can simply start at the first term and add that -4 51 more times.

Assuming that negative eight is the first term then, we get:

-8 - 4 * 51

= -8 - 204

= -212
