What you have here is an arithmetic progression.  They all follow the same rule.

 

They have a first term,usually written as    a

 They have a common difference , usually written as d.

 

and they look like this

 

a , a+d,a+2d,a+3d,........        to a +(n-1)d. 

 

Your first term here is 1/2,   that is   a =1/2.

The common difference is also 1/2,   so d = 1/2 as well.

 

Now you should be able to write down the expression for your arithmetic progression.
