Question from Samantha, a student: predict the general term, or the nth term, An for the sequence. |
Hi Samantha,
Look at the numerators of the fractions
\[\frac12, \frac23, \frac34, \frac45, \frac56\]
What's the numerator of the next fraction in the sequence? What's the numerator of the nth fraction in the sequence? What's the denominator?
