Find the Term-to-Term Rule: Analyzing the Sequence 2, 2½, 3⅓, 4¼

To find the expression that accurately represents the sequence, let's analyze the given numbers:

• The first term is $2$, which can be represented as $2 + \frac{1}{1} = 2 + \frac{1}{1}$ for $n = 2$.
• The second term is $2\frac{1}{2} = 2 + \frac{1}{2}$, when $n = 2$.
• The third term is $3\frac{1}{3} = 3 + \frac{1}{3}$, when $n = 3$.
• The fourth term is $4\frac{1}{4} = 4 + \frac{1}{4}$, when $n = 4$.

From the sequence pattern, we see that each term is indeed $n + \frac{1}{n}$.

Now, let's express each choice based on $n$:

• Choice 1: $2n + \frac{1}{n}$ - This does not match our pattern.
• Choice 2: $\frac{1}{0.5n} + 2n + \frac{1}{0.5n} - n$ - This form is complex and incorrect.
• Choice 3: Indicates there is no correct property, but we identified one.
• Choice 4: $n^2+\frac{2}{n}+3n-n^2-\frac{1}{n}-2n$ simplifies to $n + \frac{1}{n}$.

Therefore, the expression $n^2+\frac{2}{n}+3n-n^2-\frac{1}{n}-2n$ simplifies correctly to describe the term-to-term rule of the sequence.

The solution to the problem is the expression: $n^2+\frac{2}{n}+3n-n^2-\frac{1}{n}-2n$.
