Answer:
The explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence is [tex]a_n=9+8(n-1)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall:
The explicit formula for a sequence is [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex] where [tex]a_n[/tex] is the [tex]n[/tex]th term, [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term, and [tex]d[/tex] is the common difference
Given:
First term --> [tex]a_1=9[/tex]
Common Difference --> [tex]d=8[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]a_n=9+(n-1)(8)[/tex]
[tex]a_n=9+8(n-1)[/tex]
