Correct Question

The equation aₙ= r ∙ aⁿ⁻¹ is the _______________ formula for a geometric sequence.

Answer:

nth formula of a geometric sequence.

Explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence of given numbers that has consistent or the same common ratio between the numbers.

A geometric sequence can also be referred to or called a geometric progression.

In other to be able to correctly to solve a question on geometric sequence, we need to use the formula called "nth term of a geometric sequence".

The formula is given as: aₙ= r ∙ aⁿ⁻¹

where

aₙ= nth term

r = Common ratio between the given numbers in the geometric sequence which is calculated as a₂/a₁ = a₃ /a₂

a₁ = first term

n = number of terms
