Geometric Sequence 2 Geometric and Other Lesson Sequences ele Vibes Go Cane The previous lesson focused on arithmetic sequences. In this lesson, you will also learn about geometric sequences and the process on how they are generated. You will also learn about other types of sequences. Activity Divide and Conquer Find the ratio of the second number to the first number. Lxjaoo i 9 \ 3 S0m % oh No Tanah A & xO viave e 3 e 3 i) ‘You need the concept of ratio in order to understand the next kind _ | of sequence. We will explore that sequence in the next activity. Do the next activity now. Activity Fold Me Up Do the activity with a partner. One of you will perform the paper folding while the other will do the recording in the table. as Start with a big square from a piece of paper. Assume the area of the square is 64 square units. Fold the four corners to the center of the square and find the area of the resulting square. Repeat the process three times and record the results in the table below. | Square gees ee Area - o..... . What is the area of the square formed after the first fold? Second fold? Third fold? Is there a pattern in the areas obtained after 3 folds? . You have generated a sequence of areas. What are the first 3 terms of the sequence? Is the sequence an arithmetic sequence? Why? . Using the pattern in the areas, what would be the 6th term of the sequence?
