We focus on geometric sequences. A geometric sequence is a sequence where the ratio between any two consecutive terms is always the same. We usually use r to represent this common ratio.
So for a geometric sequence whose first term is a and whose common ratio is r, its nth term is:
an = ar^(n-1)
Keep in mind that the complete sequence of a geometric sequence is determined by a particular term and the common ratio.
We did a bunch of exercises in the classroom.
