Ifthe numbers as, ay... a y+ are called geometric means between ay and ay Let mbe.a geometric mean between wo numbers a andb. Then a, m,b forms a geomelic sequence so that ma =blm or m?—ab ‘Since m » 0 (m= 0 is not alowed), the last equation implies that elther both a and b are positive of both are negative. Because there are two values of m that saisty the last equation {nd because we want the geometric mean to be between the numbers a and b, we have the {lowing definition: ab ifaand> are positive We geemefrre pon 3 Kana Bne nope fofes Yor can For oxamph tae EELS St ron seoete anton and ky itera) Soin: sme mt2 me 3(2) By cacy! mes moe 8 NE ann TS ide miss 23 a Sb = Se 2.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is ay = ait", where ay = the frst term, aq = the nth term and r= the common rato For example: 1. Find the tenth torm of the geometric sequence 2, 4,8... 2, i: stan Q)=2 fol al a4 Q,=? = 1024s the tenth term * Que = 1034 2.
