Sequences are everywhere ...

Geometric sequences on the calculator ...
Geometic Sequence:
     (i) Recursive Definition: An ordered list of numbers
       generated by continuously multiplying a value (the common ratio)
       with a given first term.

       (ii) Implicit Definition: An ordered list of numbers where each
       number in the list is generated by an exponential equation.

Common Ratio (r):
     (i) The number that is repeatedly multiplied to
       successive terms in a geometic sequence.

       (ii) From the implicit definition, r is the base of the exponential
       function.
To Find The Common Ratio


  r is the common ratio
  tn is an arbitrary term in the sequence
  t(n - 1) is the term immediately before tn in the sequence

To Find the nth Term In a Geometic Sequence



  tn is the nth term
  a is the first term
  n is the quot;rankquot; of the nth term in the sequence
  r is the common ratio
Once we know the pattern of a sequence, we can find any term of the
sequence. Use your calculator to check your answers.
Find the 110th term of: 5, 8, 11, 14, ...


                                           U(110)= 332


Find the 21st term of: 3, 6, 12, 24, ...
Find the 27th term of: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...
Which term in the sequence: 2, 5, 11, 23, 47, ... is 1535?
                                               HOMEWORK
My cat is sick. His name is Little John and he has a cold. The vet has
given him some medicine. Each day he gets a pill with 35 mg of
medicine. His body eliminates 25% of the medicine each day and then
he gets another pill.                           HOMEWORK
(a) How much medicine will be in his body in 5 days?




(b) Will the amount of medicine in his body stabilize? How many days
will it take and how much medicine will be in his body?
