Harmonic sequence: 2,2/3,2/5,2/7 with solution A harmonic sequence is the sequence of reciprocals of the terms of an arithmetic sequence. So we make the corresponding arithmetic sequence by taking reciprocals of the terms: 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2, which has a1 = 1/2, and d = 2/2 or 1 If has nth term an=a1+(n-1)d an=1/2+(n-1)(1) an=1/2+n-1 an=n-1/2 an=2n/n-1/n an=(2n-1)/n So the nth term of the original harmonic sequence is the reciprocal of that: an=n/(2n-1) ------------------- For the others, form the corresponding arithmetic sequence, and proceed as above.
