First find a formula for the general term.

,,,,...
you can write first term as and third term as , so your sequence will be:
,,,

in your case, numerators are same and equal to
as denominators, you have , , ,...
to get first term
where you have => must be equal to
=>
so, general formula will be:
(for all terms given) where =,,,.....
...........if we have
