Question

Find the 8^th term of the sequence described below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence.

an = –3n + 3

Answer 1

To find the 8th term of the sequence described by \( a_n = -3n + 3 \), we need to substitute \( n = 8 \) into the formula.

\[
a_8 = -3(8) + 3
\]
\[
= -24 + 3
\]
\[
= -21
\]

Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is \( \boxed{-21} \).
