An arithmetic sequence has a first term of 8 and a second term of 13. To find the value of the tenth term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d, where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, n is the position of the term, and d is the common difference. Plugging in the values, we have a_10 = 8 + (10 - 1)5 = 8 + 45 = 53. So the value of the tenth term is 53.
The correct answer to the given question is option c).
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant. In this case, the first term is 8 and the second term is 13, so the common difference is 13 - 8 = 5.
To find the value of the tenth term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d, where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, n is the position of the term, and d is the common difference.
Plugging in the values, we have a_10 = 8 + (10 - 1)5 = 8 + 45 = 53. So the value of the tenth term is 53.
