If the common ratio is negative then the points are alternately positive and negative. While their absolute values will lie on an exponential curve, an oscillating sequence will not lie on such a curve,

Are all geometric sequences Exponential?

Yes, all geometric sequences are a specific type of exponential sequence. In a geometric sequence, each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant ratio, which can be expressed in the form ( a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{(n-1)} ), where ( a_1 ) is the first term and ( r ) is the common ratio. This structure aligns with the definition of exponential functions, where the variable is in the exponent. However, not all exponential sequences are geometric, as they can have varying bases or growth rates.


Is the following sequence arithmetic or geometric and what is the common difference (d) or the common ration (r) the common ratio (r) of the sequence π2π3π22π?

The sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric.


In a geometric sequence where r1 the terms always increase?

In a geometric sequence where the terms always increase, the common ratio ( r ) must be greater than 1. This means that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by this positive ratio. For example, if the first term is ( a ) and the common ratio is ( r ), the sequence would look like ( a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, \ldots ) with each term growing larger than the last. Thus, the sequence exhibits exponential growth as long as the common ratio remains above 1.


What is the common ratio in this geometric sequence?

A single number does not constitute a sequence.


What is the common ratio in this geometric sequence 7?

A single number does not constitute a sequence.


What is a geometric sequence that has 5 terms and alternating?

A geometric sequence with 5 terms can alternate by having positive and negative terms. For example, one such sequence could be (2, -6, 18, -54, 162). Here, the first term is (2) and the common ratio is (-3), leading to alternating signs while maintaining the geometric property.


If a geometric sequence has a common ratio of 4 and if each term of the sequence is multiplied by 3what is the common ratio of the resulting sequence?

the answer is 4


In what sequence are all of the terms the same?

A static sequence: for example a geometric sequence with common ratio = 1.


What is a geometric rule for pattern?

Not sure about this question. But, a geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the ratio of any two consecutive numbers is a constant, known as the "common ratio". A geometric sequence consists of a set of numbers of the form a, ar, ar2, ar3, ... arn, ... where r is the common ratio.


How do you determine if a sequence is geometric?

A sequence is geometric if each term is found by mutiplying the previous term by a certain number (known as the common ratio). 2,4,8,16, --> here the common ratio is 2.


Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the common difference/ ratio in simplest form 300,30,3?

This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by 10.
