**Title: Formulate an Explicit Formula for a Sequence**

**Objective:**
Learn how to derive an explicit formula for the given sequence.

**Sequence Description:**
The sequence provided is:
\[ \left\{ \frac{10}{5}, \frac{12 - e^1}{8 + e^1}, \frac{13 - e^2}{12 + e^2}, \frac{14 - e^3}{16 + e^3}, \frac{15 - e^4}{20 + e^4}, \frac{16 - e^5}{24 + e^5}, \ldots \right\} \]

**Task:**
Find an explicit formula, \( a_n \), for the sequence.

**Attempted Answer:**
The initial attempt for an explicit formula is:
\[ a_n = \frac{(11 + n) - e^n}{4(n + 1) + e^n} \]

Unfortunately, it appears the formula was marked incorrect, as indicated by the red 'X' beside it. Further investigation is needed to find the correct explicit formula for the sequence.

**Study Notes:**
- Observe the pattern in both the numerators and denominators.
- Identify how modifications in numerators and denominators relate to powers of \( e \) and changes in the constants associated with each term.
- Use trial and error by plugging in different \( n \) values into potential formulations and comparing with the actual sequence terms.

**Conclusion:**
The task requires deriving a correct explicit formula for the given sequence, using detailed observations and mathematical skills.
