Geometric Sequences

Lépésről lépésre magyarázat

1. Find the common ratio

Find the common ratio by dividing any term in the sequence by the term that comes before it:

a2a1=486=8

a3a2=38448=8

The common ratio (r) of the sequence is constant and equals the quotient of two consecutive terms.
r=8

2. Find the sum

5 additional steps

sn=a*((1-rn)/(1-r))

To find the sum of the series, plug the first term: a=-6, the common ratio: r=8, and the number of elements n=3 into the geometric series sum formula:

s3=-6*((1-83)/(1-8))

s3=-6*((1-512)/(1-8))

s3=-6*(-511/(1-8))

s3=-6*(-511/-7)

s3=673

s3=438

3. Find the general form

an=arn1

To find the general form of the series, plug the first term: a=6 and the common ratio: r=8 into the formula for geometric series:

an=68n1

4. Find the nth term

Use the general form to find the nth term

a1=6

6821=681=68=48

6831=682=664=384

6841=683=6512=3072

6851=684=64096=24576

6861=685=632768=196608

6871=686=6262144=1572864

6881=687=62097152=12582912

6891=688=616777216=100663296

68101=689=6134217728=805306368

Geometric sequences are commonly used to explain concepts in mathematics, physics, engineering, biology, economics, computer science, finance, and more, making them a very useful tool to have in our toolkits. One of the most common applications of geometric sequences, for example, is calculating earned or unpaid compound interest, an activity most commonly associated with finance that could mean earning or losing a lot of money! Other applications include, but are certainly not limited to, calculating probability, measuring radioactivity over time, and designing buildings.
