Harmonic Sequence

A harmonic sequence is a sequence where in the reciprocal of its terms form an arithmetic sequence.

Multiple Choice

Which of the terms below may form a harmonic sequence?

3, 5, 7, 9, ....

1/2. 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ...

1/3, 1/6, 1/9, 1/12, ....

Multiple Choice

Which of the statement is true?

The reciprocals of the terms of an arithmetic sequence forms a harmonic sequence.

The reciprocals of the terms of a harmonic sequence forms an arithmetic sequence.

Finding the nth term of a harmonic sequence

Get the reciprocal of each term to form an arithmetic sequence.
Now that you have an arithmetic sequence, use the formula
$a_n=a_1\ +\left(n-1\right)d$
Once you have the nth term of the arithmetic sequence, get its reciprocal.
The reciprocal the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is the nth term of the harmonic sequence.
