what conjecture can you make about the fourteenth term in the pattern a, b, a, c, a, b, a, c? (1 point) a.the fourteenth term is b. b.the fourteenth term is c. c.the fourteenth term is a. d.there is not enough information.

Answer 1

The fourteenth term is a b. So the answer is A.

Answer 2

Correct option is:

a. the fourteenth term is b

Explanation:

We are given a pattern:

a, b, a, c, a, b, a, c

We have to determine the fourteenth term of this pattern

As we can clearly see the terms are repeated after 4 terms as:

a, b ,a, c | a, b, a, c | ...

Writing down the terms in this way:

a, b, a, c | a, b, a, c | a, b, a, c | a, b, a, c ,....

We see the fourteenth term is:

b

Hence, Correct option is:

a. The fourteenth term is b
