What is the ninth term of the arithmetic sequence defined by the rule below?
A(n) = -14 + (n - 1)(2)
(1 point)
A.) 232
B.) 230
C.) 2
D.) 4
To find the ninth term of an arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula:
A(n) = A + (n - 1)d
where A is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference.
In this case, the first term is -14 and the common difference is 2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A(9) = -14 + (9 - 1)(2)
A(9) = -14 + 8(2)
A(9) = -14 + 16
A(9) = 2
Therefore, the ninth term of the arithmetic sequence is 2. Answer: C.) 2
