Answer

<br /><br />Before identifying the position of the term 343 in the given sequence, let's first identify the pattern in the sequence <br />\[8, \quad 27, \quad 64, \quad 125, \ldots\]<br /><br />We can notice the given sequence seems likely to be a sequence of cubes, given that:<br />\[\sqrt[3]{8} = 2, \quad \sqrt[3]{27} = 3, \quad \sqrt[3]{64} =4, \quad \sqrt[3]{125} =5\]<br />If this pattern continues, each term \(\sqrt[3]{n}\) is simply the previous term plus 1.<br /><br />Now let's check if 343 follows the same pattern. By calculating the cube root of 343, <br />\[\sqrt[3]{343} = 7.\]<br /><br />So the pattern does continue because \(7-5=2\). This means 343 follows two positions after 125. <br /><br />Because 125 is in 4th position, 343 is in \(4+2=6\)th position.<br /><br />So the term 343 appears in '**_6th position_**'.
