What is the ninth term of the arithmetic sequence defined by the rule below?
A(n)=-14+(n-1)(2)
To find the ninth term of the arithmetic sequence defined by the rule A(n) = -14 + (n-1)(2), we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:
A(n) = a + (n-1)d
In this case, a = -14 (the first term of the sequence) and d = 2 (the common difference). Plugging in these values, we can find the ninth term:
A(9) = -14 + (9-1)(2)
= -14 + 8(2)
= -14 + 16
= 2
Therefore, the ninth term of the sequence is 2.
