The correct Answer is:
To find the 50th term of the sequence given by \( \frac{1}{n}, \frac{n+1}{n}, \frac{2n+1}{n}, \ldots \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and the common difference The first term of the sequence, denoted as \( a \), is: \[ a = \frac{1}{n} \] Next, we need to find the common difference \( d \). The second term is \( \frac{n+1}{n} \), so we calculate the common difference as follows: \[ d = \text{second term} - \text{first term} = \frac{n+1}{n} - \frac{1}{n} \] We can simplify this: \[ d = \frac{n + 1 - 1}{n} = \frac{n}{n} = 1 \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression The formula for the \( n \)-th term of an arithmetic progression is given by: \[ a_n = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] To find the 50th term, we substitute \( n = 50 \): \[ a_{50} = a + (50 - 1) \cdot d \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values of \( a \) and \( d \) Now we substitute \( a = \frac{1}{n} \) and \( d = 1 \) into the formula: \[ a_{50} = \frac{1}{n} + (50 - 1) \cdot 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ a_{50} = \frac{1}{n} + 49 \] ### Step 4: Combine the terms To express \( a_{50} \) in a single fraction, we take the least common multiple (LCM) of \( n \): \[ a_{50} = \frac{1}{n} + 49 = \frac{1 + 49n}{n} \] ### Final Result Thus, the 50th term of the sequence is: \[ \boxed{\frac{49n + 1}{n}} \] ---
