What is a 'sequence problem' in Geometry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The two simplest sequences to work with are arithmetic and geometric sequences. An arithmetic sequence goes from one term to the next by always adding (or subtracting) the same value. For instance, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14,... and 7, 3, –1, –5,... are arithmetic, since you add 3 and subtract 4, respectively, at each step. A geometric sequence goes from one term to the next by always multiplying (or dividing) by the same value. So 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,... and 81, 27, 9, 3, 1, 1/3,... are geometric, since you multiply by 2 and divide by 3, respectively, at each step. The number added (or subtracted) at each stage of an arithmetic sequence is called the "common difference" d, because if you subtract (find the difference of) successive terms, you'll always get this common value. The number multiplied (or divided) at each stage of a geometric sequence is called the "common ratio" r, because if you divide (find the ratio of) successive terms, you'll always get this common value

geometric sequence, the quotient of any two consecutive terms is the same. A term in a geometric sequence can be found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number. For example, the next term in the sequence 1,2,4,8,16, ... is 2(16)=32, and the term after that is 2(32)=64. This fixed number is called the common ratio . We can define the n th term of a geometric sequence
