Answer:

[tex]a_n=-\frac{1}{n}[/tex]

[tex]a_6=-\frac{1}{6}[/tex] is our sixth term.

[tex]a_7=-\frac{1}{7}[/tex]  is our seventh term.

[tex]a_8=-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] is our eighth term.

Step-by-step explanation:

So every number in this sequence is -.

If you write 1 as 1/1, then you should see the numerator is constant one while the denominator is going up by 1 each time.

So the patter is

[tex]a_n=-\frac{1}{n}[/tex]

Test if you like:

n=1 gives us [tex]a_1=-\frac{1}{1}=-1[/tex] which is our first term.

n=2 gives us [tex]a_2=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] which is our second term.

n=3 gives us [tex]a_3=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] which is our third term.

n=4 gives us [tex]a_4=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] which is our fourth term.

n=5 gives us [tex]a_5=-\frac{1}{5}[/tex] which is our fifth term.

Now we are going to use [tex]a_n=-\frac{1}{n}[/tex]

to write our next three terms:

n=6 gives us [tex]a_6=-\frac{1}{6}[/tex] which is our sixth term.

n=7 gives us [tex]a_7=-\frac{1}{7}[/tex] which is our seventh term.

n=8 gives us [tex]a_8=-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] which is our eighth term.
