Final answer:
To find the 9th term in the sequence, substitute 9 for n in the equation and simplify to find the answer is -24.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the 9th term in the sequence b(n)=-8-2(n-1),
- First, substitute 9 for n in the equation. b(9)=-8-2(9-1)
- Simplify the equation. b(9)=-8-2(8)=-8-16=-24
- Therefore, the 9th term in the sequence is -24.
