Answer:
an = 10 - 2n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence: 8,6,4,2,0
...
Which is an arithmetic sequence.
Here first tern (a1) = 8, common difference (d) = 6 - 8 = -2
.
Formula: an=a1+(n-1)d
, where "an"is the nth term.
Plug in the values of a1 = 8 and d = -2, we get
an = 8 + (n-1)*-2
Distributing -2, we get
an=8 - 2n + 2
Simplify the like terms, we get
an = 10 - 2n
Hope this will helpful.
Thank you.
