1 is added to the numerator, and 2 is added to the denominator.
--> (n+1)/(2n+1)

What is the common ratio of the
sequence 1, 2/3, 3/5, 4/7, 5/9.....
---
If there is a common ration you would have:
(2/3)/1 = 2/3
(3/5)/(2/3) = 9/10
(----
Since these ratios are not the same,
there is no common ratio.
The sequence is not geometric.
