Just replace n by 8 ===> C(8) = -6+5(8-1) = - 6 + 5x7 = -6+35 = 29

Answer:

29

Explanation:

We have been given a sequence formula. We are asked to find the 8th term of our given sequence.

We know that an arithmetic sequence is in form
A_n=a_1+(n-1)d, where,


A_n=\text{ nth term of sequence},


A_1=\text{ 1st term of sequence},

n = Number of terms in sequence,

d = Common difference.

To find the 8th term of our given sequence, we will substitute
n=8 in our given formula.


c(n)=-6+5(n-1)


c(8)=-6+5(8-1)


c(8)=-6+5(7)


c(8)=-6+35


c(8)=29

Therefore, the 8th term of our given sequence would be 29.
