Harmonic Sequence
KNOWING THE NTH TERM
the formula for a basic harmonic progression
Example 2:
2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3
It is a harmonic sequence because the reciprocals form a arithmetic sequence
3,4,5,6
Example: 1, ½, 1/3, ¼…
The reciprocal form an arithmetic sequence.
the arithmetic sequence of this harmonic sequence is simple the counting numbers 1,2,3,4.
