Finding the value of a term in a geometric sequence

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a sequence is geometric and how to calculate a specific term in the sequence. The instructor identifies the sequence as geometric by calculating the common ratio and then applies the geometric sequence formula to find the 12th term, Ace of 12, which results in 885,735.

What is the initial goal set by the speaker in the video?

• To find the 12th term of the sequence

• To find the 5th term of the sequence

• To calculate the sum of the sequence

• To determine if the sequence is arithmetic

How does the speaker verify that the sequence is geometric?

• By checking if the sequence is increasing

• By finding a common ratio between terms

• By calculating the difference between terms

• By checking if the sequence is decreasing

What is the common ratio of the sequence?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

Which formula is used to find the 12th term of the sequence?

• a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

• a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1)

• a_n = a_1 / r^(n-1)

• a_n = a_1 * n

What is the value of the 12th term in the sequence?

• 735,000

• 885,000

• 735,885

• 885,735
