A Geometric Sequence is a sequence where the ratiobetween any two consecutive numbers in the sequence is aconstant.
In other words: ak+1/ak = r where r is a constant.

has common ratio r = 441 = 4, and 16
4 = 4, and 6416 = 4

0 1 = 1 = 1 = 1(4)0
1 4 = 1(4) = 1(4) = 1(4)1
2 16 = 4(4) = 1(4)(4) = 1(4)2
3 62 = 16(4) = 1(4)(4)(4) = 1(4)3

, a0(r)︸ ︷︷ ︸a1
, a0(r)2︸ ︷︷ ︸a2
, . . . , a0(n − 1)︸ ︷︷ ︸an−1
The (n + 1)st term of a geometric sequence is(sequence starts with n=0)
an = a0rn
a0 is the first term in the sequence
r is the common ratio (r = a1a0

, . . . , a0(n − 1)︸ ︷︷ ︸an−1
Note that we start the index with 0, so...
The first term is a0,The second term is a1,The third term is a2,etc.
Each term is r times the previous term:
ak = ak−1 · r

Revisiting Our First Compound Interest Example:(From 3.1 Notes)
Suppose Olaf invests $5, 000 in an investment that pays6% interest compounded annually. How much does hehave at the end of each of the first 5 years?
Year Interest earned that year Balance at end of year

Revisiting Our First Compound Interest Example:(From 3.1 Notes)
Suppose Olaf invests $5, 000 in an investment that pays6% interest compounded annually. How much does hehave at the end of each of the first 5 years?
Year Interest earned that year Balance at end of year
1 $5000 ∗ 0.06 ∗ 1 = $300 $5300.00
2 $5300 ∗ .06 ∗ 1 = $318 $5618.00
3 $5618 ∗ .06 ∗ 1 = $337.08 $5955.08
4 $5955.08 ∗ .06 ∗ 1 = $357.30 $6312.38
5 $6312.38 ∗ .06 ∗ 1 = $378.74 $6691.12
So 5000, 5300, 5618, 5955.08, 6312.38, 6691.12, . . .is a geometric sequence,
with a0 = $5300
and r = 1.06 r =$5300
$5000= 1.06

An interest-free loan of $12, 000 requires monthly payments of15% of the unpaid balance. What is the unpaid or outstandingbalance after 18 payments?
Let’s Work the Remaining Balance for a few months:
Your starting balance (after 0 months) is 12, 000After 1 month, you owe a payment:Your first payment is 15% of $12, 0000.15 ∗ 12000 = 1800Remaining Balance (after 1 month):12, 000 − 1800 = 10, 200Another way to think of this, if you paid of 15% of 12000,you have 85% of 12000 remainingYour second payment is 15% of $10, 2000.15 ∗ 10, 200 = 1530.Remaining balance (after 2 months):10200 − 1530 = 8670

Shortcuts to Finding r
Sometimes there is an easier way to find r rather thanworking out several terms and checking the ratio.
If each term in the sequence is a certain percent morethan the previous term:
r = 1 + p
(where p is the percent, converted to a decimal)
If each term in the sequence is a certain percent less thanthe previous term:
r = 1 − p
(where p is the percent, converted to a decimal)

You start advertising your dog grooming business on a new social network
called Woofer. Your advertising cost in January $100. Since the social
network is growing in popularity, your advertising cost in February are 8%
higher. You assume this pattern will continue, and each month your
advertising cost will be 8% higher than the previous month.
1 What are your advertising costs in December?This will be a Geo Seriesa0=advert. costs in Jan, a2 = advert. costs in Feb...a11=advertising costs in Deca0 = 100 and r = 1.08a11 = 100(1.08)11 = 233.16
2 How much will you spend in advertising over the year?
This is a partial sum, we want a0 + a1 + · · · + a11S12 will be the answer
S12 = 100(1−1.0812)(1−1.08) = 1, 897.71

A business has a profit of $25, 000 in the first year and thenloses 5% each year for the next seven years.
This will be a Geo Series. a0 = 25, 000 and r = 0.95
1 What is the business’ profit in the 4th year?
We’ll answer with a term of the sequenceSince the profit in the first year is a0, the profit in the 4thyear is a3a3 = 25000(0.95)3 = $21434.38
2 What is the total profit after 7 years?
Since this is about adding up the profit in each of the first7 years...We answer with S7S7 = 25000(1−0.957)
(1−0.95) = $150, 831.35
