Chapter 8.2, Problem 15PPS

To determine

To describe:The given sequence using words and symbols.

Answer to Problem 15PPS

The common difference of 8.

A term is 8 times the term number.

The sequence is, $t=8n$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The sequence is,

  $8,16,24,32,\mathrm{..........}$

Calculation:

  $8,16,24,32,\mathrm{..........}$

The difference of the term number is,

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{difference}=16-8\\ \text{difference}=8\end{array}$

Let $t$ is the term, and $n$ is the term number.

So,

The common difference of 8.

A term is 8 times the term number.

The sequence is,

  $t=8n$
