Jan 1, 2026 · If I understand right, your question is whether there exists a strictly increasing infinite sequence $\left\ { a_n \right\}$ for which the infinite sequence $\left\ { T_n \right\}$ is a geometric …

Sep 20, 2021 · 5 So for, the above formula, how did they get $ (n+1)$ a for the geometric progression when $r = 1$. I also am confused where the negative a comes from in the following sequence of steps.

Nov 26, 2014 · Geometric and arithmetic are two names that are given to different sequences that follow a rather strict pattern for how one term follows from the one before. An arithmetic sequence is …

Mar 17, 2019 · Is it correct to pull the first term out of the series so it becomes a geometric series, or is there another way? How did Wolfram Alpha calculate that expression?

May 25, 2025 · Do not let the triangle become degenerate. Show that the radii of the inscribed circles are always in a geometric sequence. I made a Geogebra page where you can move the vertex and …

Nov 1, 2016 · A geometric sequence is one that has a common ratio between its elements. For example, the ratio between the first and the second term in the harmonic sequence is $\frac {\frac {1} {2}} …

The two are effectively equivalent but the second method views the infinite series as a sequence of partial sums, which is more amenable to proofs and is more rigorous.

For example, there is a Geometric Progression but no Exponential Progression article on Wikipedia, so perhaps the term Geometric is a bit more accurate, mathematically speaking? Why are there two …
