Answer: The required pattern is 1000, 992, 984, 976, 968, 960
Step-by-step explanation:
To create a pattern that subtracts 8 from each number
Given: the first term = 1000
or [tex]a_1=1000[/tex]
and the common difference d= -8
Therefore,
[tex]a_2=1000-8=992\\a_3=992-8=984\\a_4=984-8=976\\a_5=976-8=968\\a_6=968-8=960[/tex]
Here, we got the five numbers.
The required pattern will be 1000, 992, 984, 976, 968, 960
