The first three terms of a sequence are given. Write your answer as a decimal or whole number. Round to the nearest thousandth necessary) 18, 30, 50 Find the 8th term.
The sequence is increasing with a common difference of 12 between each term.
To find the 8th term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
Plugging in the values we know:
a_8 = 18 + (8-1)12
a_8 = 18 + 7(12)
a_8 = 18 + 84
a_8 = 102
Therefore, the 8th term of the sequence is 102.
