I think you're asking:
Find the 99th term of a sequence where the nth term an is equal to (n+2)/(n+1).
In that case, you're looking for the 99th term, so just substitute in n = 99:
a99 = (99+2)/(99+1) = 101/100 = 1.01

Hi Jackson, can you be more specific about which part of the explanation is throwing you off? Basically, the equation an = (n+2)/(n+1) tells you how to find the nth term of the sequence. If you're looking for the 1st term, then n = 1. For the 2nd term, n = 2. The pattern continues like that, so if we want the 99th term, then n = 99. Plug in 99 for n to get (99+2)/(99+1), which is 1.01.
