Sequence Geometric or Not Common Ratio (R)

1. This document provides examples of geometric sequences and series. It asks the student to identify whether sequences are geometric, find common ratios, specify terms, write out sequences based on given information, and calculate sums of geometric series. 2. The student must analyze sequences to determine if they are geometric and identify common ratios. They must also find specified terms in sequences and write out the first few terms of sequences based on initial terms and common ratios. 3. The student is asked to calculate sums of geometric series by recognizing them as partial sums of infinite geometric series and using the geometric series formula.
