8th Term of Harmonic Sequence a = 5, n=8, and d=2 is 0.05263

Steps to find nth term of harmonic sequence:

nth term of harmonic sequence formula:-

an = `1/(a + (n-1) *d )`

where:

  • an is the nth term
  • a is first term
  • n is total number of terms
  • d is common difference

Input values are:-

a = 5

n = 8

d = 2

Put values into formula

a8 = `1/(a + (n-1) *d )`

a8 =`1/(5 + (8-1) *2 )`

a8 = 0.05263

Go through the detailed steps to calculate the nth term of harmonic sequence when a = 5, n=8, and d=2.

  • Note down the input values such as a = 5, n=8, and d=2
  • Substitute the values in the nth term of harmonic sequence formula i.e an = 1/[a + (n - 1) . d]
  • Solve the equation to know the given harmonic sequence nth term value.
