Document Summary
Question #2 (easy): finding the formula for the sequence. To detect the pattern, try dividing the next term by the prior term. If the term is consistent, it is a geometric sequence and the general formula for the sequence is expressed as. Sometimes the sequence involves the position of the term . Find a formula for the general term of the sequence, assuming that the pattern continues. Next, to detect pattern try dividing the next term by the prior term and see if the ratio is consistent. Thus the ratio is consistently multiplied to the subsequent terms and follows after geometric sequence.
