Geometric sequence

Q-1 What is a geometric sequence ?! geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant. This ratio is called the common ratio.
Q-2 How does a geometric sequence differ from the arithmetic sequence ? !

! !

Arithmetic sequences have a constant difference between terms:! (1, 3, 5, 7,...) The difference between successive terms is 2. ! Geometric sequences have a constant ratio between terms: ! ( 2, 6, 18, 54, ... ) The ratio between successive terms is 3. Q-3 Make a geometric sequence of your choice,nd the sum of the geometric sequence when n=8!

(10, 30, 90, 270, 810, 2430, ...)! The values of a, r and n are:! a = 10 (the rst term)! r = 3 (the "common ratio")! n = 8 (we want to sum the rst 8 terms)!

! So : !

The sum of the the fr
