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 is the difference between arithmetic and geometric sequences?

Back

In an arithmetic sequence, each term is obtained by adding a constant (the common difference), while in a geometric sequence, each term is obtained by multiplying by a constant (the common ratio).
