Write the first five terms of the sequences whose n^th term is a_n = n/(n + 1)

Solution:

nth term is given as a_n = n/(n + 1)

Substituting n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

a₁ = 1/(1 + 1) = 1/2

a₂ = 2/(2 + 1) = 2/3

a₃ = 3/(3 + 1) = 3/4

a₄ = 4/(4 + 1) = 4/5

a₅ = 5/(5 + 1) = 5/6

Therefore, the required terms are 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, and 5/6

Write the first five terms of the sequences whose n^th term is a_n = n/(n + 1)

Summary:

We are given that the nth term of the sequence is a_n = n/(n+1), therefore using the formula the answers are 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, and 5/6
