Outcomes

2.2.5

recognise and use the recursive definition of a geometric sequence:t_n+1=t_n r

2.2.6

develop and use the formula t_n=t_1*r^(nāˆ’1) for the general term of a geometric sequence and recognise its exponential nature

2.2.7

understand the limiting behaviour as nā†’āˆž of the terms t_n in a geometric sequence and its dependence on the value of the common ratio r

2.2.9

use geometric sequences in contexts involving geometric growth or decay, such as compound interest
