Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

There is a common difference d in the values, that is

9 - 5 = 13 - 9 = 17 - 13 = 21- 17 = 4

To obtain a term in the sequence add 4 to the previous term, thus

t₉ = t₈ + 4 → C

(b)

Given the n th term formula 3n - 8

To find any term, substitute the term position n into the formula

(i) first term (n = 1), then

3(1) - 8 = 3 - 8 = - 5

(ii) tenth term (n = 10, then

3(10) - 8 = 30 - 8 = 22

(iii) 100 th term ( n = 100), then

3(100) - 8 = 300 - 8 = 292
