Consider the sequence $(u_n)$ defined by:
$$\left\{ \begin{aligned} u _ { 0 } & = 1 \text{ and, for every natural number } n, \\ u _ { n + 1 } & = \left( \frac { n + 1 } { 2 n + 4 } \right) u _ { n } . \end{aligned} \right.$$
Define the sequence $(v_n)$ by: for every natural number $n$, $v_n = (n + 1) u_n$.
  1. The spreadsheet below presents the values of the first terms of the sequences $(u_n)$ and $(v_n)$, rounded to the hundred-thousandth. What formula, then extended downward, can be written in cell B3 of the spreadsheet to obtain the successive terms of $(u_n)$?
