Chapter 7: Q. 32 (page 592)

In Exercises 31–36 provide the first five terms of the given sequence. Unless specified, assume that the first term has index 1.
$\{\frac{n}{2 n + 1}\}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The first five terms are $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{7}, \frac{4}{9}, \frac{5}{11} .$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given series is $\{\frac{n}{2 n + 1}\}$ .

Step 2. First term.

The general sequence is $a_{n} = \frac{n}{2 n + 1}$

Therefore, when $n = 1,$

$a_{1} = \frac{1}{2 (1) + 1} = \frac{1}{3}$

Step 3. Remaining terms.

Now put,

$n = 2, a_{2} = \frac{2}{2 (2) + 1} = \frac{2}{5} n = 3, a_{3} = \frac{3}{2 (3) + 1} = \frac{3}{7} n = 4, a_{4} = \frac{4}{2 (4) + 1} = \frac{4}{9} n = 5, a_{5} = \frac{5}{2 (5) + 1} = \frac{5}{11}$
