II. Reinforcement A. A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers whose consecutive terms have a common ratio. For instance, 2, 6, 18, 54, is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 3. The nth term of a geometric sequence, is given by

Gn a1 n 1 , where Gn the nth term a1 the first term n the number of terms r the common ratio
r
