Question 1

What is the formula to find the n-th term of a geometric sequence?

𝑇 = π‘Žπ‘Ÿ^{(𝑛-1)}
𝑇 = π‘Ž + π‘Ÿ^{(𝑛-1)}
𝑇 = π‘Ž/𝑛

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of how the terms are generated in the sequence.

Question 2

True or False: The n-th term formula can only be used if the common ratio is greater than 1.

True
False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how the common ratio impacts the generated terms.

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose a car's value depreciates by a common ratio of 0.8 annually. If its current value is $20,000, what will its value be after 5 years?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the common ratio affects the value initially.

Challenge 2 Hard

A company's profits double every quarter. If the starting profit is $10,000, what will the profit be after 8 quarters?

πŸ’‘ Hint: You can use the n-th term formula with r = 2.
