MCR3U Geometric Sequences and Series

The document discusses geometric sequences and series, including determining the general term and specific terms of sequences, finding the number of terms in a sequence, and calculating the sum of finite geometric series. It provides examples of finding the 15th term of the sequence 5, 10, 20, determining the number of terms in 3, 6, 12, ..., 384, and calculating the general term and specific terms of sequences.

MCR3U Geometric Sequences and Series 

A geometric sequence is a sequence where any term divided by the number before it 
results in the same number.

1
Determine the general term (direct formula) and the 15th term of the 
geometric sequence 5,10, 20, ...

2
How many terms are in the geometric sequence 3,6,12,...,384?

3
Determine the general term for a geometric sequence with t3 = 75 
and t6 = ­9375.

4
5 + 10 + 20 + 40 + ... + 1280

5
How about one on your own ???  Consider the geometric series ...

5 + 15 + 45 + ... + 98415 where 98415 is the 10th term in the series.
