What is the difference between a geometric sequence and a recursive formula?
what is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence?
Is geometric sequence a sequence in which each successive terms of the sequence are in equal ratio?
Yes, that's what a geometric sequence is about.
Is a geometric progression a quadratic sequence?
A geometric sequence is : a•r^n while a quadratic sequence is a• n^2 + b•n + c So the answer is no, unless we are talking about an infinite sequence of zeros which strictly speaking is both a geometric and a quadratic sequence.
What is the sequence of numbers that are both geometric and arithmetic?
It is called arithmetico-geometric sequence. I have added a link with some nice information about them.
What is the formula for a geometric sequence?
a+a*r+a*r^2+...+a*r^n a = first number r = ratio n = "number of terms"-1
What is the difference between a geometric sequence and a recursive formula?
what is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence?
What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence 4-1236-108...?
4, -1236, -108 is not a geometric system.
Find the explicit formula for the sequence?
Type yourWhich choice is the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence? answer here...
Is the sum of two geometric sequence a geometric sequence?
No.
Is geometric sequence a sequence in which each successive terms of the sequence are in equal ratio?
Yes, that's what a geometric sequence is about.
What is a shifted geometric sequence?
a sequence of shifted geometric numbers
What is the formula to find the sum of a geometric sequence?
The formula to find the sum of a geometric sequence is adding a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ar4. The sum, to n terms, is given byS(n) = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) or, equivalently, a*(r^n - 1)/(r - 1)
What is the 9th term in the geometric sequence described by this explicit formula?
In order to answer the question is is necessary to know what the explicit formula was. But, since you have not bothered to provide that information, the answer is .
Can a sequence of numbers be both geometric and arithmetic?
Yes, it can both arithmetic and geometric.The formula for an arithmetic sequence is: a(n)=a(1)+d(n-1)The formula for a geometric sequence is: a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)Now, when d is zero and r is one, a sequence is both geometric and arithmetic. This is because it becomes a(n)=a(1)1 =a(1). Note that a(n) is often written anIt can easily observed that this makes the sequence a constant.Example:a(1)=a(2)=(i) for i= 3,4,5...if a(1)=3 then for a geometric sequence a(n)=3+0(n-1)=3,3,3,3,3,3,3and the geometric sequence a(n)=3r0 =3 also so the sequence is 3,3,3,3...In fact, we could do this for any constant sequence such as 1,1,1,1,1,1,1...or e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e...In general, let k be a constant, the sequence an =a1 (r)1 (n-1)(0) with a1 =kis the constant sequence k, k, k,... and is both geometric and arithmetic.
Is a geometric progression a quadratic sequence?
A geometric sequence is : a•r^n while a quadratic sequence is a• n^2 + b•n + c So the answer is no, unless we are talking about an infinite sequence of zeros which strictly speaking is both a geometric and a quadratic sequence.
Who invented geometric sequence series?
antonette taño invented geometric sequence since 1990's
Descending geometric sequence?
A descending geometric sequence is a sequence in which the ratio between successive terms is a positive constant which is less than 1.
