a = -4 r = -3
by the general formula ,a+(n-1)*d * * * * * That assumes that it is an arithmetic sequence. The sequence cound by geometric ( t(n) = a*rn ) or power ( t(n) = n2 ) or something else.
The ratio can be found by dividing any (except the first) number by the one before it.
To find the common ration in a geometric sequence, divide one term by its preceding term: r = -18 ÷ 6 = -3 r = 54 ÷ -18 = -3 r = -162 ÷ 54 = -3
U2/U1 = 4 So Un = 3*4n-1 and therefore, U75 = 3*474 = 1.0704*1045 approx.

It is 4374
a = -4 r = -3
Find the 7th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1/2 and whose first turn is 5
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)
It is 0.2
Used the GEOMEAN function on Excel and the answer it gave was 20.
nth term Tn = arn-1 a = first term r = common factor
Divide any term in the sequence by the previous term. That is the common ratio of a geometric series. If the series is defined in the form of a recurrence relationship, it is even simpler. For a geometric series with common ratio r, the recurrence relation is Un+1 = r*Un for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
by the general formula ,a+(n-1)*d * * * * * That assumes that it is an arithmetic sequence. The sequence cound by geometric ( t(n) = a*rn ) or power ( t(n) = n2 ) or something else.
This is a geometric sequence. Each number is multiplied by the same constant, to get the next number. If you divide any number by the previous one, you can find out what this constant is.
The 99th term would be a times r to the 98th power ,where a is the first term and r is the common ratio of the terms.
