the second term is mixed fraction 6frac1/2 and the tenth term is mixed fraction 18frac1/2, determine the formula for the nth term.

Answer 1

To determine the formula for the nth term, we can first observe the pattern of the given terms.

The second term is 6 and a half (6 1/2), and the tenth term is 18 and a half (18 1/2).

We can see that each term increases by 6 each time.

So, the formula for the nth term can be written as:

Nth term = (6 + (n-1) * 6) + 1/2

Simplifying, we get:

Nth term = 6n + 1/2
