Geometric Sequences and Series - Section 12.3

Learn about geometric sequences and series in this 29-minute mathematics lecture that covers fundamental concepts and practical applications. Master the definition and identification of geometric sequences, including how to determine common ratios, first terms, and nth terms (general terms). Explore techniques for finding specific terms within sequences and calculating the number of terms in a given sequence. Dive into both finite and infinite geometric series, understanding the formulas for finding their sums and determining convergence or divergence through the analysis of common ratio values. Practice working with real mathematical examples to strengthen understanding of these essential precalculus concepts.
