To find the first three terms of the arithmetic sequence given that \( t_8 = 4 \) and \( t_{12} = -2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be expressed as: \[ t_n = A_1 + (n - 1) \cdot d \] where \( A_1 \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ...
