Homework Statement
find the nth term
Homework Equations
x/2+(x^2)/3+(x^3)/2^2+(x^4)/3^2+(x^5)/2^3+...
The Attempt at a Solution
the numerator clearly is x^n but i have problems with the denominator
It looks to me like the next term in the series will be x^6/3^3. If that's correct, then there will be two formulas for this series: one for the even degree terms and one for the odd degree terms.mario mata said:Homework Statement

The Nth term in simplifying the denominator allows us to find a general rule or pattern for the terms in the denominator of a given sequence or series. This can help us simplify complex fractions or equations and make them easier to work with.
To find the Nth term in a sequence, you need to first identify the pattern or rule in the sequence. This can be done by looking at the difference between each term or by finding a common ratio. Once you have identified the pattern, you can use it to find the Nth term by plugging in the value of N into the formula or rule.
Yes, the Nth term can be found for any type of sequence as long as there is a clear pattern or rule. This includes arithmetic, geometric, and other types of sequences.
By finding the Nth term, we can rewrite a complex fraction as a simpler fraction with a common denominator. This makes it easier to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on the fraction.
Some tips for finding the Nth term include looking for patterns in the sequence, checking for a common difference or ratio, and using algebraic equations to represent the sequence. It can also be helpful to start by finding the first few terms in the sequence and then using those to identify the pattern.
