Example 3:

Example 3 Find the n th Term of a Geometric Sequence A. Write an equation for the n th term of the geometric sequence 1, –2, 4, –8, ... . The first term of the sequence is 1. So, a 1 = 1. Now find the common ratio. 1 –2 4 –8 = –2 ___ –2 1 = –2 ___ 4 –2 = –2 ___ –8 4 a n = a 1 r n – 1 Formula for the n th term a n = 1 ( –2 ) n – 1 a 1 = 1 and r = –2 The common ration is –2. Answer: a n = 1(–2) n – 1

Example 3:

Example 3 Find the n th Term of a Geometric Sequence B. Find the 12 th term of the sequence. 1, –2, 4, –8, ... . a n = a 1 r n – 1 Formula for the n th term a 12 = 1 ( –2 ) 12 – 1 For the n th term, n = 12. = 1(–2) 11 Simplify. = 1(–2048) (–2) 11 = –2048 = –2048 Multiply. Answer: The 12 th term of the sequence is –2048.

Example 4:

Example 4 Graph a Geometric Sequence ART A 50-pound ice sculpture is melting at a rate in which 80% of its weight remains each hour. Draw a graph to represent how many pounds of the sculpture is left at each hour. Compared to each previous hour, 80% of the weight remains. So, r = 0.80. Therefore, the geometric sequence that models this situation is 50, 40, 32, 25.6, 20.48,… So after 1 hour, the sculpture weighs 40 pounds, 32 pounds after 2 hours, 25.6 pounds after 3 hours, and so forth. Use this information to draw a graph.
