Question

Determine the first four terms of the sequence in which the nth term is...

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sequence is (n+3)!/ (n+4)!

The first terms uses n=1

a1 = (1+3)!/ (1+4)! = 4!/5! = (4*3*2*1)/(5*4*3*2*1) = 1/5

The first terms uses n=2

a2 = (2+3)!/ (2+4)! = 5!/6! = (5*4*3*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/6

The first terms uses n=3

a3 = (3+3)!/ (3+4)! = 6!/7! = (6*5*4*3*2*1)/(7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/7

The first terms uses n=4

a4 = (4+3)!/ (4+4)! = 7!/8! = (7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/8
