Given two terms find the nth term of a geometric sequence

after slowing this video down, and doing the math homework given to me following your steps, I've learned more in 15 minutes of you video compared to 3 whole bells of algebra. Thanks man.

[@brianmclogan]

Prabh Dhillon you are very welcome! so happy to be able to help you out!

[@melbournemeliodas215]

Prabh Dhillon i do better if I am alone with the teacher... having others slows me down, because there are too much the teacher must observe at.

Wish my math teacher was this fun to learn with. A video does better than my current maths teacher

[@Ray-ye8gz]

Mr Brian, You could have found a14 in another way too. Since you found r=1/2, you can use the usual formula, a14= a1* r^13 ,, to get the final answer, 1000/8192 = 0.1221

[@brianmclogan]

Perfect! thank you for adding

[@pranavi1949]

But how did you know what a1 is

[@vauntyy.]

@@pranavi1949 a1 would be the first term that isn’t the initial value of a0

[@galithomas9252]

Yes A1=1000

[@reflection9924]

what does a1* mean?

[@rohmanisar7091]

[@sarahhill7140]

Thank you so much!!! I literally knew how to do all my problems after this. Amazing!!!

[@manjotsihra8645]

I found it easier to just find the 1st term by dividing the 4th term by 1/2, then taking that number and dividing it by 1/2, and doing this until I reach the first term. It didn't take that long to do either, because of its simple division. I then used the 1st term in the formula and it got me to the same answer.

[@brianmclogan]

thanks for sharing Manjot!

this made me learn more than i learned in a week lol

[@SpideySenses054]

So to find a1, all I had to do is plug in all found variables and solve it normally right? Only reason you chose to go for a14 = a10(r)4 is because its quicker and less time consuming?

Thank you so, so very much for opening my mind up to the 6th factor.!! Is there any way to just jump from the 6th straight to the 14th?!? J/K, I know that’s not possible but it would be fun to think so, lol!! Thanks again Aaron Jesse💯

[@sevalkaya74]

You could’ve also plugged in 4th term or 10th to solve for a sub 1. Then using a sub 1 and common ratio you could simply find out 14th term. I def understand the pressure but this how I would do. Thanks for the transparency!

[@tanghulu_prince]

how?

[@analisantos3207]

@Brian McLogan Thank you for your video! I teach Maths and currently have a student that I am preparing for a Medicine exam. When teaching her about geometric progressions, she was quite puzzled about the possibility of negative common ratios, because she couldn't picture a real life example of an application for these. My training is fundamental, not applied Maths, so I am also having a hard time coming up with an example. Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

[@thorstambaugh1520]

What if the progression is formulaic with 2 variables?

[@MrCarterVince]

great vid, keep up your good work. i got a 92 for a quiz after having your video

I really like your video.Can you hep me solve this question: 3rd term of GP is 2 and 6th term 16. Find 8th term=

[@theDjwan]

Wouldn't just dividing two separate formulas make more sense? It would eliminate the A1 as well.

[@precioussiete1391]

how did you simplify 6√1 over 6√64 and then ½=r??
