Math Problem Statement

Find the nth term 1 8 27 64

Solution

The sequence you've provided is:
1,8,27,64,1, 8, 27, 64, \dots

This sequence represents the cubes of natural numbers. Specifically:

1=13,8=23,27=33,64=43,1 = 1^3, \quad 8 = 2^3, \quad 27 = 3^3, \quad 64 = 4^3, \dots

Thus, the nth term of the sequence can be written as: an=n3a_n = n^3

Where nn is the position of the term in the sequence.

For example:

  • For n=1n = 1, the term is 13=11^3 = 1,
  • For n=2n = 2, the term is 23=82^3 = 8,
  • For n=3n = 3, the term is 33=273^3 = 27,
  • For n=4n = 4, the term is 43=644^3 = 64, and so on.

Would you like more detailed steps, or is there any other aspect you'd like to explore?
