How to get the nth term of a
harmonic sequence?
1.) Write the corresponding
arithmetic sequence,
2.) find the nth term, &
3.) get the
reciprocal
Practice:
I.
State whether the given sequence is
Arithmetic, Geometric, Harmonic,
Fibonacci, or Others.
If it is arithmetic, give the common
difference. If it is geometric, give the
common ratio.
