Answer:
proper because the numerator is lower than the denominator
<u>Given</u>:
The given expression to find the nth term of the sequence is 
The first term of the sequence is 
We need to determine the third term of the sequence.
<u>Second term:</u>
The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;




Thus, the second term of the sequence is -40.
<u>Third term:</u>
The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;



Thus, the third term of the sequence is 120.
3.4+0.4+4.17=7.97 you just have to try different combinations of different numbers with the decimals.
