To Fill: In a(n) ? sequence, the ratio of any term to the previous term is constant.
In a geometric sequence, the ratio of any term to the previous term is constant.
Given information:
The given statement is “In a(n) ? sequence, the ratio of any term to the previous term is constant.”
Explanation:
A sequence is a function whose domain is a set of consecutive integers. If a domain is not specified, it is understood that domain starts with 1.
A sequence can be of two types: Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference of two consecutive terms is constant. This constant difference is called the common difference and is denoted by d .
In a geometric sequence, the ratio of term to the previous term is constant. This constant ratio is called the common ratio and denoted by r .
It can be said that “In a geometric sequence, the ratio of any term to the previous term is constant.”
