If I start with 2 and count by 8s until I reach 82, I will get: 2, 10, 18, 26, 82, ... , where 2 is the first number, 10 is the second number and so fourth. If 82 is the Nth number, what is the value of N?

11 is N

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the first answer is 2, we can subtract 82 by 2. Afterwards we can divide by 8 since we are counting by 8s, this gets me 10. 10 + the first number is 11

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
