Question 83820: Use the geometric sequence of numbers 1, 2, 4, 8,… to find the following:
What is r, the ratio between 2 consecutive terms?
Show work:
Using the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence, what is the 24th term?
Show work:
Using the formula for the sum of a geometric series, what is the sum of the first 10 terms?
Show work:
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio r is the factor to get from term to term. So
r=nth term/(n-1) term
The sequence doubles each term, so the sequence is
So the 24th term is (n=23 zero is the 1st term)
The sum of a geometric series is where a=1
So the sum of the first ten terms is 1,023
