Tuesday's slides 4/17/07

Today we worked on geometric sequences. They are very similar to arithmetic sequences. The big difference is that each successive number in a geometric sequence is produced by a multiplicative jump instead of an additive jump.

Here are the slides of the problems that we did in class.

Then we worked in pairs to create sequences for each other to solve. Everyone seemed to get it.

Sir, I have a question. In the fifth slide, when plugging in negative square root of two over two for r. Does r stand for the ratio? If yes then is r the difference, pattern or change between the numbers 2 and negative square root of two? Its that I am a bit confused with what exactly is a ratio. I have some B.K. that it is the difference but with multiplying and dividing, I am not sure.

mpooh,

B.K.?

I'm delaying answering this question so that one of your kind and helpful peers would come to your rescue. If they abandon you for too long I will respond.

In the future, you can just address your questions to the generic reader. That includes me anyway, besides, I know that Dark Angel also really likes to be called "sir".
