 I Miss You
Determine the missing term of
the given geometric sequence.
1. 3, 12, 48, __, __
2. 5, __, 20, 40, __,__
3. 256, __, __, –32 16
4. __, __, 32, 64, 128
5. ¼, __, __, __, 64, 256
Illustrate the geometric means in
the geometric sequence 4, 8, 16,
32, 64
1. What is the first term, a1?
2. What is the last term, an?
3. How many terms are inserted
between 4 and 64? What are they?
4. Can you guess the geometric
means?
Solve the common ratio in the geometric
sequence 4, __, __, __, 64
Step 1: Identify the first term, last term and the
number of terms in the problem.
a₁ = 4 a5 = 64 n = 5
Step 2: Use the formula, an = a1rn -1 to find the
common ratio.
an = a₁rn -1 64 = 4r 5-1 64/4 = 4r4/4
16 = r4 ±2 = r
Answer: The common ratios, r = 2 and r = -2
Applying the common ratio, we can find the
missing term of the geometric sequence
which are 8, 16, 32 and -8, 16, -32 .
1. Insert 3 terms
between 2 and 32
of a geometric
sequence.
2. Find 2
geometric
means between
1/3 and 1/81.
3. Determine
the geometric
mean between 4
and 9.
To find the geometric means of the given
geometric sequence
1.Identify the number of terms in a geometric
sequence (including the geometric means,
the first term and the last term).
2. Solve the common ratio.
3. Multiply the first term by the common ratio
to find the second term.
4. Multiply the second term by the common
ratio to find the third term, and repeat the
procedure until you solve the required
geometric means.
 APPLICATION
The number of a certain
bacteria is doubled every hour.
If the initial number of
bacteria is 800 units and
becomes 6,400 on the 4th day,
how many bacteria are there
on the second and third day?
