The 10th term in a sequence whose general term is [tex]a_n = n^2 - 8[/tex] will be 92. so option A is correct.
What is arithmetic sequence?
An arithmetic sequence is sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference.
If the initial term of a sequence is 'a' and the common difference is of 'd', then we have the arithmetic sequence as:
a, a + d, a + 2d, ... , a + (n+1)d, ...
Its nth term is
T_n = a + (n-1)d
(for all positive integer values of n)
And thus, the common difference is
T_{n+1} - T_n
for all positive integer values of n
We need to find the 10th term in a sequence whose general term is
[tex]a_n = n^2 - 8[/tex].
So, the 10th term is (10)²- 8
= 100 - 8
= 92
Therefore, the 10th term in a sequence whose general term is
[tex]a_n = n^2 - 8[/tex] will be 92. so option A is correct.
