Answer:
term to term rule is +2
The first term is -8
80th term is 150
Step-by-step explanation:
70 to 72 is adding 2
72 to 74 is adding 2
term to term rule is +2
The equation for a sequence like this is
xn = a + d(n−1)
where n is the term number a is the first term and d is the term to term rule
Using the 40th term is 70
70 = a + 2( 40-1)
70 = a + 2( 39)
70 = a + 78
Subtract 78 from each side
-8 = a
The first term is -8
80th term
xn = a + d(n−1)
x80 = -8 +2 (80-1)
= -8+2(79)
= -8+158
= 150
