 GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE

A geometric sequence is a sequence where

each term after the first term is obtained
by multiplying the preceding term by a non
zero constant called the common ratio (r) .
The nth term of a geometric sequence

 GEOMETRIC MEANS

A The geometric mean is evaluated by using product

and root operations of mathematics.
To find their geometric mean we multiply all the
numbers and then find the nth root of their product so
obtained. The result gives us the geometric mean of
the number.
