Explanation:

a_n = a + (n - 1)d

a_8 = -6 + (8 - 1)5

a_8 = -6 + (7)5

a_8 = -6 + 35

a_8 = 29

Answer:

29

Explanation:

General term of the sequence :-

  • c(n) = -6 + 5( n -1)

We need to find the 8th term of the sequence. For that substituting n = 8 , in the general formula, we have,

→ c(8) = -6 + 5( 8 -1)

→ c(8) = -6 + 5 * 7

→ c(8) = -6 + 35

→ c(8) = 29
