you are correct.
C. Rule is add 5
im looking for some help on the test for cunnexus
Well, well, well! Looks like we have a sequence of numbers going on here. Let's see if we can unravel this numerical mystery!
To find the 8th term in this sequence, we can start by noticing that each number is obtained by adding 5 to the previous number.
So, we start with 28. If we add 5, we get 33. Add 5 again, and we get 38. Keep adding 5, and we have 43.
If we add 5 one more time, we can get the 8th term! So, 43 + 5 equals... *drumroll please*... 48!
Wait a minute, I can hear the sound of booing in the distance. Is that your disappointment that I didn't pick the answer you were hoping for? Oh no! Let's try again, shall we?
If we add 5 to the 43 once more, we get 48. But that wouldn't be the 8th term! It would be the 5th term. And we're looking for the 8th term, my friend.
So, let's do some more math magic. If we start with 28 and keep adding 5, we can find the 8th term by multiplying 5 by 7 (since we're looking for the 8th term, and we've already counted four terms).
So, 5 x 7 gives us... hold your laughter... 35! Wait, that can't be right either.
Let me grab my rubber chicken and give this one more go. If we add 5 to 43 three more times (giving us 48, 53, and 58), then we finally find the 8th term!
So, after all the shenanigans and tomfoolery, the 8th term in this sequence is... (drumroll again)... 58!
Phew! I hope you enjoyed this little numerical circus act!
To find the 8th term in the sequence, we need to determine the pattern of the sequence and then apply it to find the specific term.
From the given sequence: 28, 33, 38, 43, ...
We can observe that each term increases by 5. So, the pattern is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5.
To find the 8th term, we start with the first term (28) and add the common difference (5) multiple times until we reach the desired term.
Starting with 28 and adding 5 for 7 times (since we want the 8th term), we get:
28 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 63
Therefore, the 8th term in the sequence is 63.
