9-1 Geometric Sequences
The table shows the heights of a bungee jumper’s bounces.
The height of the bounces shown in the table above form a geometric sequence. In a geometric sequence, the ratio of successive terms is the same number r, called the common ratio.

9-1 Geometric Sequences
Geometric sequences can be thought of as functions. The term number, or position in the sequence, is the input, and the term itself is the output.

To find a term in a geometric sequence, multiply the previous term by r.

The pattern in the table shows that to get the nth term, multiply the first term by the common ratio raised to the power n – 1.
To find the output an of a geometric sequence when n is a large number, you need an equation, or function rule.

Example 2C: Finding the nth Term of a Geometric
Sequence
What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 2, –6, 18, –54, …?
The 9th term of the sequence is 13,122.
When writing a function rule for a sequence with a negative common ratio, remember to enclose r in parentheses. –212 ≠ (–2)12
