The nth term of a sequence is 4/n2
(a) Write the first three term of the sequence, expressing each term in its simplest form.



(b) The kth term in the sequence is 1/100
Find the value of K


(c) Given that the mth term of the sequence is less than 0.0064 , find the smallest value of m??

The nth term of a sequence is 4/n2
(a) Write down the first three terms of the sequence, expressing each term in its simplest form.

4/12, 4/22, 4/32, ...
4/1, 4/4, 4/9, ...

4, 1, 4/9, ...


(b) The kth term in the sequence is 1/100
Find the value of k.

4/n2 = 1/100

n2 = 400

n = 20.


(c) Given that the mth term of the sequence is less than 0.0064 , find the smallest value of m??

4/n2 = 64/10000

64n2 = 40000

n2 = 40000/64

n2 = 625

n = 25

Given that the mth term is less than the 25th term, so m = 26.
