Lesson 3. 12 Concept: Geometric Sequences EQ: How do we recognize and represent geometric sequences? F. BF. 1 -2 & F. LE. 2 Vocabulary: Geometric Sequence, Common ratio, Explicit formula, Recursive formula 1 3. 11: Geometric Sequences

Activator: First Word Using the word ‘EXPONENTIAL’, create a phrase starting with each letter in the word on a sheet of paper. To get you started, I will give you an example. Exponential graphs looks like a ‘J’ curve. X P O N E N T I A L Now you finish the rest. 2 3. 8. 2: Geometric Sequences

Introduction • A geometric sequence is a list of terms separated by a common ratio, r, which is the number multiplied by each consecutive term in a geometric sequence. • A geometric sequence is an exponential function with a domain of whole numbers in which the ratio between any two consecutive terms is equal. 3 3. 11: Geometric Sequences

Introduction (continued) Just like arithmetic sequences, Geometric sequences can be represented by formulas, either explicit or recursive, and those formulas can be used to find a certain term of the sequence or the number of a certain value in the sequence. Recall • A recursive formula is a formula used to find the next term of a sequence when the previous term is known. • An explicit formula is a formula used to find the nth term of a sequence. 4 3. 11: Geometric Sequences

First Term Current Term Common Ratio Previous Term 5 3. 11: Geometric Sequences

Steps to create formulas and solve for geometric sequences 1. Find the common ratio by dividing the 2 nd term by the 1 st term. 2. Decide which formula to use. (explicit or recursive) 3. Substitute your values to create your formula. 4. Find the specific term if asked to do so. 3. 8. 2: Geometric Sequences 6
