Objectives
Define geometric sequences and series

Derive the formula for the nth term of a


geometric sequence

Find the missing term(s) in a geometric sequence


Find the partial sum of a geometric
sequence

Solve word problems involving geometric


sequences & series
Part 1

Recall
What is a geometric sequence*?
A sequence is geometric if each term (after the first
term) is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a
constant value called the common ratio, r.

To solve for the common ratio, we use the formula:


𝑎! nth term
𝑟=
𝑎!"# previous term

*Geometric sequence is also called as geometric progression.


Formula: nth term of a Geometric Sequence

To find the nth term in a geometric sequence, we


use the formula,
Observe that
𝒏#𝟏
𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 # 𝒓 the exponent
of the
common ratio
where: is just the
difference
𝒂𝟏 is the first term. between the
term numbers
𝒓 is the common ratio. n and 1.
𝒏 is the term number.
What is a geometric series?
A geometric series is the sum of the terms in a
geometric sequence.

v Geometric sequence is written as:


𝒂𝟏 , 𝒂𝟐 , 𝒂𝟑 , 𝒂𝟒 , … , 𝒂𝒏
v Geometric series is written as:
𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒂𝟒 + … + 𝒂𝒏
Formula: Finite Geometric Series

For finite* geometric series, we can use these formulas:


v when an is known: where: 𝑟 ≠ 1
𝒂𝟏 − 𝒂𝒏 𝒓
𝑺𝒏 = 𝑺𝒏 is the sum of the first n terms.
𝟏−𝒓 𝒂𝟏 is the first term.
v when an is unknown: 𝒂𝒏 is the nth term.
𝒂𝟏 (𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 ) 𝒓 is the common ratio.
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒏 is the number of terms.
𝟏−𝒓
*To emphasize, these formulas are for finite geometric series.
A different formula is used for infinite geometric series (not under the scope of our lesson).
Part 2

Practice Exercises
Mechanics
v The class will be divided into groups of 4 members.
v Each group will only have 1 official
tablet/whiteboard/paper.
v A problem will be given and must be answered within the
given time. After the set time, each group will raise their
tablet/whiteboard/paper with their answer written on it.
v Every correct answer is worth 2 points while an incorrect
answer is worth 1 point.
v The total points of the group will be credited as recitation
points of the members for the day.
Exercise

desktop computer is increased by 15% for each level of
zoom. If the original length of the word “February” is 1.2
cm, what is the length of the word after 6
magnifications? Round off the final answer to 2 decimal
places.

The length of the word “February” after 6 magnifications is 2.78 cm.
