In a Geometric Sequence each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a common ratio except the first term and the general rule is ar^(n-1) whereas a is the first term, r is the common ratio and (n-1) is term number minus 1

∙ 8y agoThe general rule is that the ratio between any two consecutive items in the sequence is always the same.

How do arithmetic and geometric sequences compare to continuous functions?
an arithmetic sequeunce does not have the sum to infinty, and a geometric sequence has.
What is the formula for non arithmetic and geometric sequences?
because starwars is awesome
What is the diffeence between the term to term rule and the common difference in maths?
The common difference does not tell you the location of the sequence. For example, 3, 6, 9, 12, ... and 1, 4, 7, 10, .., or 1002, 1005, 1008, 1011, ... all have a common difference of 3 but it should be clear that the three sequences are different. A common difference is applicable to arithmetic sequences, not others such as geometric or exponential sequences.
What is a geometric rule that must be proven?
A Postulate,
How do you find the sum of a series of numbers?
There is no simple answer. There are simple formulae for simple sequences such as arithmetic or geometric progressions; there are less simple solutions arising from Taylor or Maclaurin series. But for the majority of sequences there are no solutions.
How are arithemetic and geometric sequences similar?
how are arithmetic and geometric sequences similar
Arithmetic sequences are to linear functions as geometric sequences are to what?
Exponentail functions
How do you solve geometric sequence and series?
There can be no solution to geometric sequences and series: only to specific questions about them.

How do you solve this word problem about geometric sequences?

What are some examples of geometric?
There aren't any. Geometric is an adjective and you need a noun to go with it before it is possible to consider answering the question. There are geometric sequences, geometric means, geometric theories, geometric shapes. I cannot guess what your question is about.
Can geometric sequences be division too?
yes a geometic sequence can be multiplication or division
What is an arithmetic-geometric mean?
An arithmetic-geometric mean is a mean of two numbers which is the common limit of a pair of sequences, whose terms are defined by taking the arithmetic and geometric means of the previous pair of terms.
What occupations use geometric sequences?
Some of them are demographics, to forecast population growth; physicists and engineers, to work with mathematical functions that include geometric sequences; mathematicians; teachers of mathematics, science, and engineering; and farmers and ranchers, to predict crop growth and corresponding revenue growth.
What is the rule for sequences?
There is no single rule. Furthermore, some rules can be extremely complicated.
What is the diffeence between the term to term rule and the common difference in maths?
The common difference does not tell you the location of the sequence. For example, 3, 6, 9, 12, ... and 1, 4, 7, 10, .., or 1002, 1005, 1008, 1011, ... all have a common difference of 3 but it should be clear that the three sequences are different. A common difference is applicable to arithmetic sequences, not others such as geometric or exponential sequences.
