What you'll likely be quizzed about
- A geometric sequence is a series of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number known as the common ratio.
- For example, in a sequence that starts with 2 and has a common ratio of 3, the terms are 2, 6, 18, 54, and so on.
- This predictable pattern allows for easy computation of any term in the sequence.
