Linux isnt even suppose to be even close to Unix. Linux is based off of Minix, a micro-kernel architectureâ¦ Minix and Unix are 2 completely different cores, as different as Windows and Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, and Mac and Linux. BSD is a different beast, based on Unix, Linux is based on Minix, OS X is based on BSD.
1 A geometric sequence is one in which the same number is multiplied or divided by each element to get the next element in the sequence. 2  2, 4, 8, 16, ... is a geometric sequence.
Rule for a Geometric Sequence. The n th term of a geometric sequence is identified as a (n). For instance, a (1) is the first term of the sequence, and a (7) is the seventh term of the sequence. To get from one term of a sequence to the next, we need to multiple the preceding term by the common ratio r. The rule for finding the n th term of a sequence is shown in Figure 1.
