Problem 5 (Geometric Sequence)
We need to complete each geometric sequence with the missing terms and determine the growth factor for each:
-
- Growth factor = 4 (since )
- Missing term:
- Sequence:
-
- Growth factor = 2 (since )
- Missing term:
- Sequence:
-
- Growth factor = 5 (since )
- Missing term:
- Sequence:
-
- Growth factor = -0.25 (since )
- Missing term:
- Sequence:
-
- Growth factor = -3 (since )
- Missing term:
- Sequence:
Would you like to see the solution to the arithmetic sequences, or do you have any further questions about these geometric sequences?
Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
- How do you find the growth factor in a geometric sequence?
- What is the formula for the -th term in a geometric sequence?
- Can a geometric sequence have a negative growth factor?
- How do you distinguish between an arithmetic and a geometric sequence?
- What happens to a geometric sequence when the growth factor is 1?
Tip: Always divide the second term by the first to identify the growth factor in a geometric sequence!
