GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE
• Ratio of each term to the preceding term is the same.
• Formula:
(i) Terms
Tn = ar n −1
Tn - n th term
a - first term
n - number of terms
r - common ratio
(iii) Sum
r n − 1 1− rn
Sn = a if r 〉 1 or Sn = a i f r 〈 1
r−1
1− r
S n - sum of the first n terms
a - first term
n - number of terms
r - common ratio
