Question
Find the indicated terms in the following sequences whose $n^{th}$ terms are:
$\text{a}_\text{n}=\frac{3\text{n}-2}{4\text{n}+5};\text{a}_7\text{ and }\text{a}_8$
✓

Answer

$a_{n}=\frac{3 n-2}{4 n+5}$
We need to find $a_7$ and $a_8$
Now, to find $a_7$ term we use $n=7$, we get,
$a _7=\frac{3(7)-2}{4(7)+5}$
$=\frac{21-2}{28+5}$
$=\frac{19}{33}$
Also, to find $a_8$ term we use $n=8$, we get
$a _8=\frac{3(8)-2}{4(8)+5}$
$=\frac{24-2}{32+5}$
$=\frac{22}{37}$
Thus, $a _7=\frac{19}{33}$ and $a _8=\frac{22}{37}$
