2. what is the 8th term of the sequence given by an=3n-5

a. - 2

b. 19

c. 24

d. 29

3. write an explicit formula for the sequence 2,8,14,20,26

a. an=2n-2

b. an=2n+2

c. an=4n+2

d. an=6n-4

(1) To determine the 8th term of the sequence, substitute 8 to n of the equation.

a₈ = 3 (8) - 5 = 19

Answer is letter B.

(2) It can be observed that the numbers in the sequence is 6 times n (its position) minus 4. Thus, the answer is letter D.
