Consider the following sequences: Geometric Sequences A geometric sequence is defined as: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, … 81, 27, 9, 3, 1, … with a as the first term and r as the common ratio.
5
Examples Find the common ratio, the nth term, and the 20 th term.
6
Partial Sums The partial sum of a geometric sequence looks like:

Example Find the 20 th partial sum for geometric sequence with a = 5, r = 2:
