GEOMETRIC

SEQUENCE,MEANS AND
SERIES
a1=first term
r=common ratio
n=numbers of term
an=last term
GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE
EXAMPLE 1
Write a formula fo the nth term of the given
geometric sequence.
9,3,1,1/3,1/9,...
SOLUTION:
r=3÷9=1/3
an= 9(1/3)n-2
a1=9(1/3)1-1=9
a2=9(1/3)2-1=3
a3=9(1/3)3-1=1
GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE
9,3,1,1/3,1/9
EXAMPLE 2
EXAMPLE 3
Find the 10th term of the geometric sequence
8,32,128,492,..
SOLUTION:
a1=8
r=32÷8=4
an=a1rn-1
a10=8(4)^10-1
a10=8(4)^9
a10=2097152
GEOMETRIC MEANS
EXAMPLE 4
6,_,_,750 insert 2
SOLUTION:
a4=a1r^4-1
750=6r^3
125=r^3
5=r
6,30,150,750 multipy by 5 the get exceeding
EXAMPLE 5
Find the geometric mean between 7 and 63.

SOLUTION:
7,_,63
an=a1r^n-1
63=7r^3-1
63=7r^2
r=-3 or +3
