Write a geometric sequence in summation notation

The video tutorial explains how to write a geometric sequence in summation notation. It begins by introducing the concept of summation notation and the sigma symbol. The instructor then demonstrates how to determine the rule for a geometric sequence by identifying the first term and the common ratio. Finally, the sequence is expressed in sigma notation, with an explanation of how to set the starting point and upper limit for the sequence.
