What is a geometric sequence?

Back

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

How do you determine if a sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither?

Back

To determine the type of sequence, check if the difference between consecutive terms is constant (arithmetic) or if the ratio of consecutive terms is constant (geometric). If neither condition is met, the sequence is neither.

What is the formula for exponential growth?

Back

The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x, where 'a' is the initial amount, 'r' is the growth rate, and 'x' is the time.

What is the formula for exponential decay?

Back

The formula for exponential decay is f(x) = a(1 - r)^x, where 'a' is the initial amount, 'r' is the decay rate, and 'x' is the time.

What is the common ratio in a geometric sequence?

Back

The common ratio is the factor by which each term in a geometric sequence is multiplied to get the next term.
