SWBAT… Given the term value of a geometric sequence, find the specific n th term Find partial sums of arithmetic and geometric series Explicit formula for Geometric Sequence If we know that one of the terms has the value , how could you find what term number it is? Let’s do an example: t 1 = 15 and r = 3 Explicit formula:
SWBAT… Given the term value of a geometric sequence, find the specific n th term Find partial sums of arithmetic and geometric series Find a term number of a geometric sequence
SWBAT… Given the term value of a geometric sequence, find the specific n th term Find partial sums of arithmetic and geometric series Explicit Formula for n th Partial Sum of Geometric Series If we know that a partial sum is , how could you find what n is? Let’s use our example wheret 1 = 15 and r = 3
