lboogy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi everyone, I have to do some coursework, and I am studying independant of school - so I have no tutor. I am doing some coursework on sequences of fractions. I'm just wondering, after finding the formula for the nth number, what else can you do with sequences? Here is what I have to do: 1/1 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 ... ... the difference from above is 1/2 1/6 1/12 1/20 1/30 ... ... the difference from above is 1/3 1/12 ... ... ... 'invesigate further' I'm not sure how to investigate further! I can find the formula, but then what? How can I investigate this further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I naturally don´t know how to interpret your coursework, either. So just a few suggestions what one could investigate about sequences: - What is the value of the n´th number (e.g. the 10051th)? What is the value of the n'th difference between numbers (e.g. the 6252th)? - Is there a biggest and/or a smallest number in the series? If so, which? Otherwise, why not? - Is there a "greater than" or "lesser than" relation between subsequent numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lboogy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 so how would i find the formula to calculated the nth number when the sequences are fractions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
