Part (c) is just finding the pattern that is consistent in all the terms. Takes a little creativity, else it shouldn't pose problems.

(d) try to solve this part even if u can't do any of the other parts, as the expression required has already been given by the qn in (c), where they asked u to *show* the expression. With the expression, it becomes a simple matter of subbing in values.

(e) This is linked to (d), as u would've solved for the difference between 2 arbitrary terms Tp & Tp+1. Using the expression derived, you realise that there is a minimum value for the difference between 2 adjacent terms, as n has a certain range of values restricting it too.

Hope this helps
