 Developmental Activity
1. Presentation (Lecture/Discussion)
A Finite Geometric sequence is a function whose domain is the finite set
{1, 2, 3, …, n} while Infinite Geometric Sequence is a function whose domain
is the infinite set {1, 2, 3, …}.
Example: What is the sum of the first 10 terms of the infinite sequence
2+2+2+…?
 Solution: 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=10(2)=20
What is r=-1 and n is even?
2. Unlocking of Difficulties
What is r=-1 and n is even?

 Post-developmental Activity
1. Practice and Drill
I. Identify if the following sequences of numbers are finite or infinite
geometric sequence.
____ 1. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
____ 2. 5, 15, 45, 135, . . .n
____ 3. 4, 16, 64, 256, . . .n
____ 4. 2, 1, .5, .25, .125,
____ 5. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15

2. Generalization
A Finite Geometric sequence is a function whose domain is the finite set
{1, 2, 3, …, n} while Infinite Geometric Sequence is a function whose domain is
the infinite set {1, 2, 3, …}.

II. Evaluation
I. State whether each of the following sequence is geometric or not then state if it is
finite of Infinite geometric sequence.
1. 5, 20, 80, 320, . . .n
2. 7 √ 2 ,5 √ 2 ,3 √ 2 , √ 2
3. 5, -10, 20, -40
4. 1, 0.6, 0.36, 0.216, …n
