Thread: show series is decreasing

show is strictly decreasing.

for a series to be decreasing the next term must be smaller than the current term.

2n +1 < 2(n +1) + 1 (n^th term and n^th + 1)

2n + 1 < 2n +3


the next term is less than the previous therfor the series is decreasing.

Am I correct?

this sequence (not correct to call it a series, a series infers a summation) is decreasing.

I get it, sequence set/list of terms. I know it goes to zero just by looking at the n in the denominator and 1 in the numerator, but I have to show that it is decreasing. That is my question, did i show the sequences is decreasing, satisfactorily?
