FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a geometric sequence?
Back
A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, 3, 6, 12, 24 is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?
Back
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term, d is the common difference, and n is the term number.
