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.

How can you determine if a sequence is geometric?

Back

A sequence is geometric if the ratio between consecutive terms is constant.

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).
