Question

4.02 Lesson Check Arithmetic Sequences (9)

Answer 1

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

T9 = 8 + (9 - 1) × -4

T9 = (8 + 8) × -4

T9 = 16 × -4

T9 = -64

Answer 2

a₉ = - 24

Explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

`a_(n)` = a₁ + (n - 1)d

given a₁ = 8 and d = - 4 , then

a₉ = 8 + (8 × - 4) = 8 + (- 32) = 8 - 32 = - 24
