List the first five terms in the arithmetic sequence [tex]a_n = 8n[/tex], starting with [tex]n = 1[/tex].

8,16,24,32,40 All you have to do is replace the n in 8n with the sequance number you're looking for like for instance: 8(1)=8 8(2)=16

a n ​ = 8 n a 1 ​ = 8 ⋅ 1 = 8 a 2 ​ = 8 ⋅ 2 = 16 a 3 ​ = 8 ⋅ 3 = 24 a 4 ​ = 8 ⋅ 4 = 32 a 5 ​ = 8 ⋅ 5 = 40

The first five terms in the arithmetic sequence a n ​ = 8 n , starting with n = 1 , are 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40. These terms are simply calculated by substituting the values of n into the formula. This process yields a clear sequence based on the multiplication by 8.
