Learn to write the first five terms of a geometric sequence

The video tutorial explains how to write the first five terms of a geometric sequence. It begins by introducing the concept of a geometric sequence and its common ratio. The instructor labels the sequence terms and demonstrates how to calculate each term by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the process.

What is a geometric sequence characterized by?

• A common difference

• A common product

• A common ratio

• A common sum

If the first term of a geometric sequence is 3 and the common ratio is 3, what is the second term?

• 15

• 6

• 9

• 12

What is the third term of the sequence if the first term is 3 and the common ratio is 3?

• 27

• 21

• 30

• 18

Calculate the fourth term of the sequence given the first term is 3 and the common ratio is 3.

• 90

• 81

• 72

• 54

What is the fifth term of the sequence if the first term is 3 and the common ratio is 3?

• 216

• 162

• 189

• 243
