### Abstract

Some real life problems are modeled using difference equations. Extracting the exact solutions of such equations is an active topic for some scientists. This paper investigates the equilibrium points, stability, boundedness, periodicity, and some exact solutions for eighth order rational difference equations. The exact solutions are obtained using the iterations method. We also present some 2D figures to show the validity of the obtained results. The used methods can be applied for other nonlinear difference equations.
