Final answer:
The 10th term of the provided sequence is the number 8, which is determined by the pattern where each number in the sequence appears as many times as the number is greater than 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence at hand does not immediately present an obvious pattern, thus we need to analyze it to find the 10th term. When we look at the given numbers, it seems that the pattern is not arithmetic or geometric. However, we can notice that certain numbers repeat themselves a certain number of times which can be related to their value. For example, the number 7 appears once, while the number 8 appears twice, and so forth.
Investigating further, we can identify that the numbers are appearing as many times as they are greater than the number 2. For instance, the number 3 is 1 more than 2, and it appears once. The number 4 is 2 more than 2, and it appears twice. This pattern holds for all the numbers in the sequence up to the point we have been given.
Following this pattern, we can deduce that the 10th term we are looking for is the number 7, as the numbers from 3 to 6 (which are one count above their excess over 2) occupy the first six positions. The number 7 would occupy the next three positions (7th, 8th, and 9th terms) since it is five more than 2. Therefore, the 10th term arriving after 7 would have to be 8, which is six more than 2 and will occupy the next six positions in the sequence.
