Explanation / Answer

1. a). ii. b) iv. c) v.

2. Putting n=1,2,3,4,5 we get first five terms of the sequence as a1= -2/3, a2= 0, a3= -2/27, a4= 0, a5= -2/243...and so on.

3. Clearly the denominators of the series is an AP series with first term a=2 and common difference d=2. Therefore the general term an is given by the formula an=1/(2+(n-1).2) where n=1,2,3,4........i.e an= 1/2n , n=1,2,3,4...
