a 1 a 2 a 3 a 4 . . . a n = 1 = 6 = 6 0 = 8 4 0 = 6 a 1 = 1 0 a 2 = 1 4 a 3 = [ 6 + 4 ( 2 − 2 ) ] a 1 = [ 6 + 4 ( 3 − 2 ) ] a 2 = [ 6 + 4 ( 4 − 2 ) ] a 3 = [ 6 + 4 ( n − 2 ) ] a n − 1
Therefore,
a 9 a 1 0 = a 9 [ 6 + 4 ( 1 0 − 2 ) ] a 9 = 6 + 4 ( 8 ) = 3 8
F(n) = (2n-1)!/(n-1)!
So F(10) = 19!/9!
And F(9) = 17!/8!
F(10)/F(9) = (19!/9!)(8!/17!) = 38
(n + 1) th term/ n th term = n th term in the arithmetic sequence (6, 10, 14, 18, ...... )
Then
10 th term/9 th term = 9 th term in the arithmetic sequence (6, 10, 14, 18, ...... ) =
6 + (9 - 1)(4) = 38

Checking the quotient of each two successive terms:
6 ÷ 1 = 6
6 0 ÷ 6 = 1 0
8 4 0 ÷ 6 0 = 1 4
We see that these are in an arithmetic progression (formally, a n + 1 ÷ a n = 2 + 4 n ); following this we get that the quotient of the 10th and 9th term is 3 8 .
