: here's the sequence:
1, 1/4, 1/9 ,1/16 or 1, .25, 1.111111repeating, .0625

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/1^2 1/2^2 1/3^2 1/4^2 1/5^2
1 1/4 1/9 1/16 1/25
1/1^2 1/2^2 1/3^2 1/4^2 1/5^2
1/1=1 1/4=.25 1/9=1/.1111111 1/25=1/.0625 YOU HAVE A MISTAKE(?) WITH THE 1/1.11111 & 1/25=.04
Answer by rcmcc(152)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The pattern of your sequence is an expanded geometric sequence. It is calculated by taking the inverse of the square of the term. Or by the formula below.
T= 1/(tn^2)
so, your sequence is:
1=1/(1^2)
(1/4)=1/(2^2)
(1/9)=1/(3^2)
(1/16)=1/(4^2)
and the next 2 numbers can be solved by
T5=1/(5^2)
T5=1/25
T6=1/(6^2)
T6=1/36
