How is the value of any term calculated if the position of term is known?
A sequence usually has a position-to-value function. Alternatively, it can be derived from the recursive relationship that defines the sequence.
How do you find the nth term in a fraction sequence?
work it out it's one more than the 8th and one less than the 10th * * * * * The above answer seems to make no sense here. It is not clear what you mean by a fraction sequence. It is not possible to go through the process for finding the nth term in an arithmetic, geometric or power sequence here. For school mathematics, sequences of fractions are, in fact composed of two simple sequences. One sequence defines the numerators and the other defines the denominators. In such cases, the nth term of the fraction sequence is the fraction given by the nth term of the numerator sequence divided by the nth term of the denominator sequence. For example: 1/1, 3/4, 5/9, 7/16, 9/25, ... The numerators are the odd number, with t(n) = 2n-1 The denominators are the squares of natural numbers with u(n) = n2 So, the nth term of the fraction sequence is (2n-1)/n2.
What sequence is formed by subtracting each term of a sequence from the next term?
It is the sequence of first differences. If these are all the same (but not 0), then the original sequence is a linear arithmetic sequence. That is, a sequence whose nth term is of the form t(n) = an + b
What is a nth term in a sequence?
Well, it would depend what the sequence was...? If the sequence was 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20, then the 9th term would be 18!
What is the 5th term of the sequence which has a first term of 17?
That depends what the pattern of the sequence is.
