Answer: The first 6 terms are = 8, 10, 12,14,16,18
Explanation:
The NTH term of an Arithmetic Sequence is given as
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d
where a1 = First term given as 8 and
d= common difference given as 2
Therefore We have that
the first term
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d = 8+(1-1) 2
a1= 8
second term=
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a2= 8 + (2-1) 2
= 8+ 2(1) = 10
3rd term
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a3= 8 + (3-1) 2
= 8+ 2(2)= 8 + 4=12
4th term
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a4= 8 + (4-1) 2
= 8+ 2(3)= 8+6=14
5th term
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a5= 8 + (5-1) 2
= 8+ 2(4)=8+ 8=16
6th term
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a6= 8 + (6-1) 2
= 8+ 2(5)=8 +10 =18
