Obtain a general formula for  the sequence   (2/3),(4/5),(8/9),((16)/(17)),((32)/(33)),...  assuming the sequence continues in that  pattern.
$$\mathrm{Obtain}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{general}\:\mathrm{formula}\:\mathrm{for} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{sequence} \\ $$$$\:\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}},\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}},\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{9}},\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{17}},\frac{\mathrm{32}}{\mathrm{33}},… \\ $$$$\mathrm{assuming}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{sequence}\:\mathrm{continues}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\mathrm{pattern}. \\ $$

((7n^4 )/(33660))−((13n^3 )/(16830))−((767n^2 )/(33660))+((3433n)/(16830))+((818)/(1683))
$$\frac{\mathrm{7}{n}^{\mathrm{4}} }{\mathrm{33660}}−\frac{\mathrm{13}{n}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{16830}}−\frac{\mathrm{767}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{33660}}+\frac{\mathrm{3433}{n}}{\mathrm{16830}}+\frac{\mathrm{818}}{\mathrm{1683}} \\ $$

you can like or dislike it but it still is one  of zillions of right answers
