\ud83d\udd01 Geometric sequence<\/strong> is a number pattern where each number is made by multiplying or dividing<\/strong> the previous number by the same number<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2797\u2795 The same number used every time is called the rule<\/strong> or common ratio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcc8 Multiplying pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 2, 4, 8, 16, ___
\ud83d\udc49 Rule: \u00d72
\ud83d\udc49 Missing number = 32<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcc9 Dividing pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 81, 27, 9, ___
\ud83d\udc49 Rule: \u00f73
\ud83d\udc49 Missing number = 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0d How to find the rule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compare the first two numbers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check if they are multiplied or divided by the same number<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply the same rule to find the missing term<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u270f\ufe0f Steps to complete a geometric sequence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the given numbers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the multiplying or dividing rule<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the rule to fill in the missing number(s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Remember<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rule stays the same throughout<\/strong> the sequence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not add or subtract<\/strong> in geometric sequences<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udde0 Tip for students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If numbers grow fast \u2192 think multiplication<\/strong>
If numbers get smaller \u2192 think division<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn with an example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Type the missing number in this sequence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5,    25,  _____  ,    625,    3,125<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, look for a pattern. Notice how each number is 5 times the previous number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5,    25,    __,    625,    3,125<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiply 25 by 5 to find the missing number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 \u00d7 5 = 125<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the pattern complete, the number 125 must go in the blank space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2) Type the missing number in this sequence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2,    4,   _____ ,    16,    32,    64<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, look for a pattern. Notice how each number is 2 times the previous number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2,    4,    __,    16,    32,    64<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiply 4 by 2 to find the missing number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 \u00d7 2 = 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the pattern complete, the number 8 must go in the blank space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3) Type the missing number in this sequence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2,    4,    8,  ____,    32,    64<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, look for a pattern. Notice how each number is 2 times the previous number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2,    4,    8,    __,    32,    64<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiply 8 by 2 to find the missing number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 \u00d7 2 = 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the pattern complete, the number 16 must go in the blank space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
