In simpler terms, a geometric sequence is a sequence in which some constant (same) number multiplies every-time to give u the next number in the sequence.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 - The constant is 2 (E.g. 2 x 2 = 4)

6, 36, 216, 1296, 7776 - The constant is 6 (E.g. 6 x 6 = 36)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To figure out the constant number we just divide one number in the sequence by the one next to it on the left.

E.g. 36/6 = 6

That first example, starting at 2 with a constant=2, is arithmetical not geometrical because it simply adds 2 each time. If the constant is a multiplier the series is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...

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.

How can you tell if a sgraph is a geometric sequencegeometric sequence calculator?

To determine if a sequence is geometric, check if the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. You can calculate the ratio by dividing each term by the preceding term. If this ratio remains the same for all pairs of consecutive terms, then the sequence is geometric. Additionally, a geometric sequence can be verified using a geometric sequence calculator, which will confirm the common ratio and provide further analysis.
