OBJECTIVES

After going through this module, the learner should be


able to:
a. determine a geometric sequence;
b. identify the common ratio of a geometric sequence;
c. find the missing term of a geometric sequence; and,
d. determine whether a sequence is geometric or
arithmetic.
e. insert geometric means in a sequence
f. solve the s u m of a geometric sequence.
WHAT IS A G EO M E T R I C S E Q U E N C E ?

A geometric sequence is a
sequence obtained by
multiplying a common ratio to
the preceding terms in order to
obtain the succeeding terms.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE COMMON RATIO?

The common ratio is obtained


by dividing a term by the term preceding
it.

EXAMPLE Find the geometric mean of 4 and 484.

𝑟 = ±11 denotes two possible answers


 If 𝑟 = 11, then the sequence is 4, 44, 484,
which means that the geometric mean
is 44.
 If 𝑟 = -11, then the sequence is 4, -44, 484,
which means that the geometric mean
is - 44.
