HELP ASAP 40 POINTS What is the equation for the nth term of the sequence
And what is the 52nd term of the sequence. -8,-12,-16

Given:

The sequence is -8, -12, -16.

To find:

The nth and 52th term  of the given sequence.

Solution:

We have,

-8, -12, -16

It is an AP because the difference between consecutive terms are equal. Here, first term is -8 and the common difference is

The nth term of an AP is

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Putting a=-8 and d=-4, we get

Putting n=52, we get

Therefore, the equation for the nth term of the given sequence is and the 52nd term of the sequence is -212.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

the answer is b.)
