Learn how to determine if a sequence is geometric or not

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a sequence is geometric by examining the ratios between consecutive terms. It demonstrates the calculation of these ratios and checks for a common ratio, concluding that the sequence is geometric if a constant ratio is found.

What is the first step in determining if a sequence is geometric?

• Calculate the sum of the terms

• Examine the ratios between consecutive terms

• Check if the sequence is arithmetic

• Look for a common difference

If the ratio of the second term to the first term is 16/32, what is the simplified form of this ratio?

• 2/3

• 3/4

• 1/2

• 1/4

What is the common ratio of the sequence discussed in the video?

• 2/3

• 3/4

• 1/2

• 1/3

Why is the sequence considered geometric?

• Because it has a constant ratio

• Because it is decreasing

• Because it has a constant difference

• Because it is increasing

What can be concluded if a sequence has a constant ratio?

• The sequence is arithmetic

• The sequence is geometric

• The sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric

• The sequence is random
