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.

What does it mean for a graph to represent a function?

Back

A graph represents a function if every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value). This can be tested using the vertical line test: if a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.

What is the difference between an explicit and a recursive formula?

Back

An explicit formula defines the nth term directly, while a recursive formula defines each term based on the previous term(s).
