    Module 4 Geometric Mean Geometric Series

    Uploaded by

    Pabora Kenneth
    The document discusses geometric series and sequences. It defines key terms like the first term, common ratio, and sum of a geometric series. It provides examples of finite and infinite geometric series and discusses when their sums can be calculated. Formulas for calculating geometric series sums are derived. Examples are worked through, finding common ratios and determining whether series sums can be calculated.

    GEOMETRIC SERIES

    GEOMETRIC MEAN
    The terms between any two nonconsecutive terms of a
    geometric sequence.

    Ex. 2, 6, 18, 54, 162

    6, 18, 54 are the Geometric Means between 2 and 162


    FIND TWO GEOMETRIC MEANS BETWEEN –2 AND 54
    Find two geometric means between –2 and 54

    -2, ____, ____, 54


    a1  First term -2
    54 an  a1r n1
    an  nth term
    n  number of terms 4
    r  common ratio r

    The two geometric means are 6 and -18, since –2, 6, -18, 54
    forms a geometric sequence
    Find the missing term or terms in
    each geometric sequence.
    A. −3, ___, −108, ...
    B. −1, ___, −4, ...
    C. 3, ___, ___, 648, ..
    D. 1, ___, ___, ___, 16,
    Find the missing term or terms in
    each geometric sequence.
    A. −3, 18 , −108, ...
    B. −1, 2 , −4, ...
    C. 3, 18 , 108 , 648, ..
    D. 1, 2 , 4 , 8 , 16,
    Geometric Series: An indicated sum of terms in a
    geometric sequence.

    Example:

    Vocabulary of Sequences (Universal)
    a1  First term
    an  nth term
    n  number of terms
    Sn  sum of n terms
    r  common ratio
    Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the geometric series 3 - 6 + 12 – 24+ …

    3 a1  First term
    NA an  nth term
