In your own words, explain how to determine whether a sequence is geometric.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A sequence in which the ratio between two consecutive terms is constant is called a geometric sequence.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

How to determine whether the sequence is geometric.

A geometric sequence in which the term is divided by the previous term is constant and that ratio is called the common ratio of the sequence.

02

Step 2. How to determine the common ratio of the sequence.

To determine the common ratio of the sequence

  • Divide each term by the previous term.
  • If the ratio is the same then a common ratio exists, and the sequence is geometric.
