Notes to the Teacher

This module aims to prepare the learner in determining geometric
means, finding the nth term of a geometric sequence and solving
the sum of the given finite of infinite geometric sequence.

 What’s New

Try to read and analyze this situation.

Joan saves portion of her weekly allowance by putting it in a piggy bank because she
wants to buy a new cellular phone amounting ₱6 000. Her savings must multiply at
a constant rate per week. On the first week, she was able to save ₱120 and at the
end of the fourth week, she saved ₱405. How much will she need to save at the end
of the second and third week? How about on the sixth week? Will she be able to buy
the new phone after eight weeks from her savings?

This given problem translates by inserting geometric means between 120 and 405,
nth term of geometric sequence, and sum of the terms of a given finite or infinite
geometric sequence. Answer this problem then check if your answer is correct for
you to go along with this module.

What is It

Geometric Mean
In this part of the module, you will learn to determine the geometric means of a
geometric sequence. In the geometric sequence 10, 30, 90, 270, 810, . . ., 30, 90, and
270 are the three geometric means between 10 and 810. These are also known as
the extremes. Thirty is the geometric mean between 10 and 90. Therefore geometric
means are terms between two terms of a geometric sequence.

The formula to solve for a geometric mean between two terms of is ± √x y .This is
also called the mean proportionality of x and y.

Example1. Find the geometric mean between 2 and 18.

Here, you have x = 2 and y = 18. Following the given formula, you have
± √x y
± √(2)(18)
± √36
±6
There are two possible geometric means between 2 and 18, 6 and -6.
Example 2. Determine the geometric mean between 27/8 and 2/3.
Here, you have x = 27/8 and y = 2/3. Following the given formula, you have
± √x y
27 2
±√( )( )

2
There are two possible geometric means between 2 and 18, 3/2 and -3/2.

Example 3. Determine three geometric means between -2 and -162.

In this case you cannot use ± √x y, since it is only used to determine only one (1)
geometric mean. You can write the sequence as -2, ___, ___, ___, -162, . . . To solve
for three geometric means between -2 and -162, you need to determine first the
n−k an
common ratio using r = √ak where,
ak = a1 = -2 ; k = 1, and
an = a5 = -162 ; n = 1
Substituting the given to the formula, you have
n−k an
r= √ak
5−1 −162
r= √
−2
4
r = √81
r=±3
There are two possible values for r, 3 and -3. Multiplying each term by 3 you have
-2, -6, -18, -54, -162 and multiplying each term by -3 you have -2, 6, -18, 54, -162.
Therefore, you have two sets of answers:
If r = 3, three geometric means between -2 and -162 are -6, -18, and -54.
If r = -3, three geometric means between -2 and -162 are 6, -18, and 54.

The nth Term of Geometric Sequence

In this module you will also learn how to determine the nth term of a geometric
sequence. Consider the geometric sequence 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, . . . with the common
ratio (r) of 3, where a1 = 1, a2 = 3, a3 = 9, a4 = 27, and a5 = 81, . .
Thus you have the following patterns in each column:
Term Exponential Form Factored Form Equation
a1 = 1 1x30 1 1
a2 = 3 1x31 1x3 a1 r
a3 = 9 1x32 1x3x3 a1r2
a4 = 27 1x33 1x3x3x3 a1r3
a5 = 81 1x34 1x3x3x3x3 a1r4
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
an = ________________ ? ?
Observing the pattern above, you can find the nth term of the geometric sequence
using the equation
an = a1rn-1

5
Example 1. Determine the seventh term of the geometric sequence 7, 21, 63, . . .
Here you have a1 = 7, n = 7 and r = 3. Substituting the given to the formula you have
an = a1rn-1
a7 = 7(37-1)
a7 = 7(36)
a7 = 7(729)
a7 = 5 103
Therefore, the 7th term of the geometric sequence is 5 103.

Example 2. Find the ninth term of the geometric sequence 3, 1, 1/3, . . .

Here you have, a1 = 3, n = 9 and r = 1/3. Substituting the given to the formula
you have
an = a1rn-1
a9 = 3(1/3)9-1
a9 = 3(1/3)8
a9 = 3(1/6 561)
a9 = 1/2187
Therefore, the ninth term of the given geometric sequence is 1/2187.

Geometric Series
A geometric series is the indicated sum of the terms of a geometric sequence.

Finite Geometric Series

Given the finite geometric sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, you can have a finite geometric
sequence 3 + 6 + 12 + 24 + 48. The sum of the given finite geometric series is 93.

Now, let S be the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence, you now have
Sn = a1 + a1r + a1r2 + . . . + a1rn-1 (equation 1)

Multiplying both sides of equation 1 by the common ratio r, you get

rSn = a1r + a1r2 + a1r3 + a1rn-1 + a1rn (equation 2)

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, you get

Sn = a1 + a1r + a1r2 + . . . + a1rn-1
- (rSn = a1r + a1r2 + a1r3 + a1rn-1 + a1rn)
Sn – rSn = a1 – a1rn

Factoring both sides of the resulting equation, you get

Sn(1 – r) = a1(1 – rn)

Dividing both sides by 1 – r, where 1 – r ≠ 0, you get

Sn = a1(1 – rn)
1–r

Since that an = a1rn-1, if we multiply both sides by r you get

an(r) = a1rn-1(r) or an = a1rn

6
Since Sn = a1(1 – rn) = Sn = a1(1 – rn)
1–r 1–r
Then replacing a1rn by anr, we have
Sn = a1 -anr , r ≠ 1
1–r

Example 1. Determine the sum of the first six terms of the geometric sequence 3, 6,
12, 24, . . .
a1 = 3 , n = 6 , and r = 2 ← identify the given
Sn = a1(1 – rn)
1–r
S6 = 3(1 – 26) ← Substitute the given to the formula
1–2
S6 = 3(1 – 64) ← Solve for the Sn and simplify
1–2
S6 = 3(– 63)
-1
S6 = -189
-1
S6 = 189
Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 189.

Example 2. Determine the sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric sequence if the
first term is 4, the common ratio is -2 and the 8th term is -512.
a1 = 4, r = -2, and a8 = - 512 ← Identify the given
Sn = a1 -anr
1–r
S8 = 4 – (-512)(-2) ← Substitute the given to the formula
1 – (-2)
S8 = 4 – 1024 ← Solve for the Sn and simplify
3
S8 = -1020
3
S8 = -340
Therefore, the sum of the first 8 terms is -340.

Infinite Geometric Series

An infinite geometric series is a series of the form a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ar4 + . . . +
arn-1 + . . . The sum of an infinite geometric series
S = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ar4 + . . .
by factoring the right side of the operation, you get
S = a + r(a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + . . .)
S = a + rS
Solve the equation S = a + rS for S
S = a + rS
S – rS = a

7
(1 – r)S = a
𝑎
S= for -1 < r < 1
1−𝑟
If -1 > r > 1, for the values of r, Sn has no limit or no sum.

Example 1. Determine the sum of an infinite geometric sequence 9, 3, 1, . . .

a = 9 , r = 1/3 ← Identify the given
𝑎
S=
1−𝑟
9
S= ← Substitute the given to the formula
1−1/3
9
S= ← Solve for the S and simplify
2/3
S = 9 x 3/2
S = 27/2
Therefore, the sum to infinity of the given infinite geometric sequence is 27/2.

Example 2. Find the sum of the infinite geometric sequence 2, -8, 32, . . .
a = 2 , r = -4
Since r < -1 , r = -4, therefore the series has no sum.
Remember that the infinite geometric sequence has a sum to infinity
only if -1 > r > 1.

During December, Luakan National High School is holding a Gift-giving program for
less fortunate students. Collecting empty bottles was launched as a fund drive of the
said program. A student committed to bring 2 bottles on the launching day of the
