The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if

necessary).

8, 17, 26, ...

Find the 32nd term.

Answer: 287

Step-by-step explanation:

8, 17, 26

So we know that the sequence pattern is + 9 for every term and the first 3 terms are given.

That means we need 29 more terms to get to the 32nd term.

29 * 9 = 261

261 + 26 = 287

287 is 29 terms past 26, which is the 3rd term.
