A sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.
A sequence where each term is added to the previous one by a constant.
A sequence where each term is subtracted from the previous one by a constant.
A mathematical series where numbers are arranged in increasing order.
By adding the first and last term.
By multiplying any term by the previous term.
By subtracting any term from the previous term.
By dividing any term by the previous term.
a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1) where a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.
a_n = a_1 * (n-1) + r.
a_n = n * a_1 - r.
a_n = a_1 + r^(n-1).
S_n = a * (1 - r^n) / (1 - r) for r ≠ 1.
S_n = a * n * r.
S_n = a_n + r^n.
S_n = a + r + n.
