slide4. May 2013 (Retracted) Hint for (a): the common ratio between the first and second terms, and the second and third terms, is the same. a b ? ?<br>
slide5. Arithmetic Series Geometric Series Determine the following: 3, 6, 12, 24, … 40, -20, 10, -5, … ? ? ? ? ?<br>

slide7. The second term of a geometric sequence is 4 and the 4th term is 8.
The common ratio is positive. Find the exact values of:
The common ratio.
The first term.
The 10th term. ?<br>

slide10. Arithmetic Series Geometric Series ? ? Technically you could be asked in an exam the proof of the sum of a geometric series (it once came up!)
So let’s prove it…<br>
slide11. Geometric Series Find the sum of the first 10 terms. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<br>

slide15. 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ... What can you say about the sum of each series up to infinity? 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 + ... This is divergent – the sum of the values tends towards infinity. This is convergent – the sum of the values tends towards a fixed value, in this case 2. This is divergent . This is known as the Harmonic Series Just for fun... ? ? ? ? ?<br>
