The initial term, often represented as a₁, is the value of the sequence when n = 1.
In this case, if we substitute n = 1 into the explicit formula, we get:
a₁ = 8 + 7(1 - 1)
a₁ = 8 + 7(0)
a₁ = 8
Therefore, the initial term is 8.
In this case, if we substitute n = 1 into the explicit formula, we get:

a₁ = 8 + 7(0)
a₁ = 8
Therefore, the initial term is 8.
