Question

1. Find the 8th term of the following linear sequences.

i) 2,4,6,8,...
ii) -7,-4,-1.2- iii)0,-1/2,-1,-1 1/2
iv) 12,5,-2. v) 8,14, 20,...
vi) 63,58, 53, ...​

Answer 1

We know the formula,

t =n =ar

n−1

Here n=8

Common ratio =−2 and first term =a=−6

t =8

=(−6)×(−2)

8−1

t =8

Use this formula

=(−6)×(−2)

7 t= 8

=768
