Illustrates a geometric sequence.
II. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
1. Understand the concept of Geometric Sequence.
2. Realize the importance of learning the concept of geometric sequence, through its real-
life application.
3. Use the concept of geometric sequence to find its common ratio.

IV. LEARNING EXPERIENCE
A. Activity
Exposition

Analyze the sequence below and answer the following questions.

2, 4, 8, 16
Questions:
1. What is the ratio between the two succeeding terms starting from the last term?
2. Did you get the same ratio?
3. What kind of sequence is 2, 4, 8, 16?
B. Analysis
Concept Notes
Geometric Sequence
- A sequence with a common ratio.
Ex. Consider the sequence,
6, 12, 24, 48, …
Soln.
12 48
=2 =2
6 24
 24
=2 r =2
12

Hence, the sequence is geometric.

Ex. Given the sequence,

2, -6, 18, -54,…
Soln.
−6 −54
=−3 =−3
2 18

18
=−3 r =−3
−6

So, the sequence is geometric.

Ex. Consider the sequence,

1 1
2 ,1 , , , …
2 4
Soln.
1
1 1 4 1 2 1
= = ∙ =
2 2 1 4 1 2
2

1
1
2 1 r=
= 2
1 2

Therefore, the sequence is geometric.

Questions:
1. What is geometric sequence?
2. What is common ratio?
3. How to find the common ratio of a geometric sequence?
C. Abstraction
Paper Folding.
Using a piece of paper complete the table below.
Number of
1 2 3 4 5 6
Folds
Number of
Equal
Regions

Questions:
1. What did you observe about the number of regions? Does it form a sequence?
2. Is there a common difference or common ratio?

D. Application
Math Reflection#2
Analyze the problem.
If a sprinter is to run the 100 m dash, he has to hurdle the first half of the distance which is 50 m;
then, hurdle half of the remaining distance which is 25 m; then, hurdle half of the remaining
distance which is 12.5 m, and so on.
Question: If we shall follow this line of thinking, explain why the runner “cannot finish” the
race?
V. ASSESSMENT
Quiz#3
