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.
Example 1: Find the first five terms and the common ratio of the geometric sequence . Since a geometric sequence is a sequence, you find the terms exactly the same way that you do a sequence. n is our term number and we plug the term number into the function to find the value of the term. If you need a review on sequences, feel free to go to Tutorial 54A: Sequences.
