    Objectives:

    At the end of the lesson, you will determine geometric


    means and sum of the terms of a given geometric
    sequence by:
    a) defining the geometric means and series.
    b) inserting geometric means between two
    extremes.
    c) applying the formula in finding the sum of
    geometric sequence.
    GEOMETRIC MEAN

    A geometric mean is the term between the extremes of a


    geometric sequence. In the geometric sequence a1, a2, a3 …,an-1 ,an ,
    the geometric means are a2 ,…,a3 ,…,an-1 .

    The geometric mean between two numbers a1 and a2 is


     

    a. (if both numbers are positive), and

    b. - (if a1 and a2 are negative).


    Example 1: Insert a geometric mean between 1 and 10.
    Solution:
     
    m1 =

    m1 =

    m1 =
    Example 2: Insert two geometric means between 3 and 81.  
    Solution:
    First,
     
    find . Find a2 and a3.
     
    = 3 ; n=4 ; =81 = m1 = = 3(3)= 9
     

    =  m2 = = 3()= 27
    an = a1
    a4 = a1
    = 27
    =3
    Now let’s try
    Find three geometric means between 2 and 50.

    Find the value of r. Find , and .


     

     
     
    =3 = m1 = = 2
    a5 = a1 = m2 = = 2= 2(5) = 10
    = 25 = m3 = = 2= 2(5 )
    = = 10

    GEOMETRIC SERIES
    The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence is called geometric series.
    There are two types of geometric series: (a) finite geometric series and (b)
    infinite geometric series.
    Finite Geometric Series
      A finite geometric series represents the sum of a finite of terms in a geometric
    sequence.
    There are two formulas for the sum of terms of a finite geometric sequence.
    • , ≠ 1 (when the last term is unknown)
    • , ≠ 1 (when the last term is known)
    Example:

     
    Find the sum of the indicated terms of the geometric sequence when = 3 , = 2 and = 48.

    Solution
     
    Using

     
    Example:
    Find the sum of the first 4 terms of the geometric sequence 6, 18,54, …

    Solution
     
     
    Find the value of . Using
     
    =    

    =
       
    =3
     
    Now let’s try
    Find the sum of the first 6 terms of the geometric sequence 10, 15, , …
     
    Solution
     
     
    Find the value of . Using
     
    =    

    =
       
    =
    =  
    Infinite Geometric Series
      An infinite geometric series represents the sum of an infinite of
    terms in a geometric sequence. When the common ratio is between
    -1 and 1 (-1< < 1 ), the value of decreases and converges to zero.

    The sum of the terms of an infinite geometric sequence is or .


    Example:

     
    Find the sum of the terms of an infinite geometric sequence given that = 4 and = .

    Solution
     
    Using

     
    Now let’s try
     
    Find the sum of the terms of an infinite geometric sequence given that = 5 and = .
