someone refresh me on how to find out if something is a geometric sequence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gs=1,3,9,27......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gs = 1 , 3 , 9 , 27..... here each term is multiplied by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a gp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gphere we find common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here we find common ratio (r) r = t2/t1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If there is a common ratio r between each term, then it is a geometric sequence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an=a*r^(n-1)

Just a tip to all the answerers: The question was asking how to determine if something is a GP or not. Not to start solving the question. #Pedagogy
