Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for the formula of the -th term of the sequence: We can analyze the numerators and denominators separately:
-
Numerators: . This sequence increases by 2 each time. So, the formula for the -th term of the numerator is:
-
Denominators: . This sequence increases by 3 each time. So, the formula for the -th term of the denominator is:
Thus, the general formula for the -th term of the sequence is:
Comparing this with the given options, the correct answer is:
Would you like more details, or do you have any further questions?
Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- What is the 5th term of this sequence?
- How would you find the formula for a sequence with a different pattern in the numerators and denominators?
- Can you derive a general approach for solving sequences with linear patterns?
- What happens if the sequence includes non-linear terms?
- How would you check if a sequence is arithmetic or geometric?
Tip: Always analyze the sequence's numerators and denominators separately for fractional sequences like this.
