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.

How do you calculate the sum of an arithmetic series?

Back

The sum of an arithmetic series can be calculated using the formula: S_n = n/2 * (a + l), where n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and l is the last term.
