b. Energizer
c. Review

how many likers/reactors will you have in a
couple of minutes if a certain pattern is
observed?

realized how much will it increase monthly,
quarterly or yearly?

C. Presentation The nth term of a


From the previous activity, let them guess the geometric
possible topic of the day. progression.

D. Discussion
Consider the geometric progression defined by a 1 = 2
and r = 3. The 1st five terms will be
a1 = 2
a2 = r · a 1 = 3 · 2 = 6
a3 = r · a2 = 3 · 6 = 18
a4 = r · a3 = 3 · 18 = 54
a5 = r · a4 = 3 · 54 = 162

By rewriting this sequence, another pattern is found,


as follows:

Term Factored Exponential


Form Form
(1) (2)
(3) (4)
2 ·3 0
a1 = 2 = 2 =
*
a2 = 6 = 2·3 = 2 ·31
a3 = 18 = 2·3·3 = 2 ·32
a4 = 54 = 2·3·3·3 = 2 ·33
2·3·3·3·
a5 = 162 = = 2 ·34
3

* 2 ·30 = 2 ·1 = 2
Notice that column (4) consists of two factors, 2 and
3. These factors are actually the first term and the
common ratio, respectively, of the given geometric
sequence. With a1 representing the 1st term and r
representing the common ratio, column (4) may now
be written:

2 ·30 a 1⋅r 0
a1

2 ·31 a 1⋅r 1

a2

2 ·32 a 1⋅r 2

a3

2 ·33 a 1⋅r 3

a4

2 ·34 a 1⋅r 4
a5

Comparing the second column from the third


column, notice that the exponent of the common
ratio, r, is 1 less than the term number that
corresponds to it. Based from the above, if the 6 th
term is to be found, then the 6th term, a6 is equal to
the 1st term, a1, multiplied by the common ratio r
raised to the 5th power, or, in symbols

5 6−1
a6 = a 1⋅r = a 1⋅r
So that the nth term is
n−1
an = a 1⋅r

Rule or Formula for the General Term of a Geometric


Progression:

If an is a geometric sequence with common ratio, r,


then

n−1
an = a 1⋅r
where n is the number of the term (term number) and
a1 is the 1st term.

A lot of problems involving geometric


progression is solved using this rule for the general
term of a geometric progression. You will see in the
following examples.

Example 1. Find the 1st five terms of a


geometric progression whose 1st term is
2 and whose common ratio is -3.
Solution:Wait! This is the same problem as the
one found in Example 2 of Lesson 1!
Of course it is! But this time, it will be
solved using the rule for the general
term of a geometric progression. In
lesson 1, each term after the 1st is
found by finding the preceding term.

Since a1 = 2 and r = -3, then proceed as


follows
n−1
an = a 1⋅r
2−1 1
a2 = a 1⋅r = a 1⋅r = 2(-3) = -6
3−1 2
a3 = a 1⋅r = a 1⋅r = 2(-3)2 = 2(9) = 18
4−1 3
a4 = a 1⋅r = a 1⋅r = 2(-3)3 = 2(-27) = -54
5−1 4
a2 = a 1⋅r = a 1⋅r = 2(-3)4 = 2(81) = 162

The same first 5 terms of the sequence as in


Example 2 of Lesson 1 are found.

2, -6, 18, -54, 162


An advantage of solving the problem
using the rule for the general term of the
geometric progression is that, you do not depend
on the previous term to get the next term. The rule
for the general term of a geometric progression is a
convenient way for you to find the nth term of a
geometric progression.
Example 2. Find the nth term of the geometric
progression whose first three terms are

8 16
a. 4, 3 , 9 b. 5,
-10, 20

Solution: Since the general term of a geometric


n−1
progression is a = a 1⋅r
n , you have
to identify the 1st term and the
common ratio. The 1st term is:

a. a1 = 4 b. a1 = 5
The common ratio is not given, so you have to find
the common ratio by dividing a term by the
preceding term. For this case, take a2 and a1 so that

8
a2 3 8 8 1 2 a2
÷4 ⋅
a. r = a1 = 4 = 3 = 3 4 =3 b. r = a1 =
−10
5 = -2

Replace a1 and r into the rule for the


general term:

n−1
a. an = a 1⋅r b. an = 5 · (-2)n-1

()
n−1
2
an = 4 · 3
Notice that it is not possible to simplify
further
E. Application
Group Activity:
(In a group of three.) Students will be given envelop
which contains the expressions found below. Each
grouped should be asked to find the the nth term of

F. Generalization Rule or Formula for


Let them answer the following questions: the General Term of
1. What formula do you use if the first and last a Geometric
term are given? Progression:
2. How about if the last term is not given?
If an is a geometric
sequence with
common ratio, r,
then

n−1
an = a 1⋅r
where n is the
number of the term

a1 is the 1st term.

5. a1 = .5 r = 0.5
H. Assignment
Directions: Read and understand the problem and
give what is asked.
A 25-layer of logs is being piled to be used on a
construction. The uppermost layer is composed of 25
logs, the second upper layer contains 27 logs, and the
third upper layer contains 29 logs, and so on. If the
pattern continues up to the lowest layer, what is the
total number of logs piled for construction?
