Question

write the second term of the sequence.
( a_n = 8n - 7 )

the second term of the sequence is \\( \square \\). (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify n for second term

For the second term, \( n = 2 \).

Step2: Substitute n into formula

Substitute \( n = 2 \) into \( a_n = 8n - 7 \):
\( a_2 = 8(2) - 7 \)
\( a_2 = 16 - 7 \)
\( a_2 = 9 \)

Answer:

9
