Frayer Model
A geometric sequence is one in which
eachphrase is discovered by multiplying
the previous term by the same value. Its
general term is; an = a1 rn – 1. The value r
is called the common ratio. It is found by
taking any term in the sequence and
dividing it by its preceding term.
Geometric Sequence
10, 30, 90, ...
This sequence has a factor of 3
between each number.
The values of a and r are:
 a = 10 (the first term)
 r = 3 (the "common ratio")
The Rule for any term is:
an = 10 × 3(n-1)
So, the 4th term is:
a4 = 10×3(4-1) → 10×33 → 10×27
= 270
In a geometric sequence, each term
is equal to the previous term times a
constant, non-zero multiplier called
the common factor. Geometric
sequences can have a fixed number
of terms, or they can be infinite.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...
This sequence has no common ratio
so it’s not a geometric sequence, but
it has a common difference which is
2 so it’s a arithmetic sequence.
d = a1 - an / 1 - n
d = 2 - 10 / 1 - 5 → -8 / -4 = 2
The 6th term is;
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
a6 = 2 + (6 - 1) 2 → 2 + 10
= 12
