3. 4, 12, 36, 108, …
C. ACTIVITY
In an experiment, a certain colony of bacteria increases twice every hour. If the initial number of bacteria is 10,
how many bacteria will there be after 5 hours? t hours? Make a table showing the growth of bacteria.
D. ANALYSIS
1. What can you say about the activity?
2. Were you able to answer the activity?
3. How did you come up with the formula of finding t hours?
E. ABSTRACTION
n−1
The nth term of a geometric sequence with first term a 1 and common ratio r is given by: a n=a1 r .
Example :
Write the rule or equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence 3, 9, 27, 81, …and find the 10th term of the
sequence.
Solutions:
