Answer:
179.159
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence :
50, 60, 72,..
The sequence given is a geometric sequence :
For a geometric sequence ;
ar^(n - 1)
a = first term
r = a2 / a1 = 60 / 50 = 1.2
The 8th term ; n =8
a8 = ar^(n - 1)
a8 = 50*1.2^(8 - 1)
a8 = 50*1.2^7
a8 = 50*3.5831808
a8 = 179.15904
a8 = 179.159 (nearest thousandth )
