Geometric Series

Description:

A geometric series is a sequence of numbers in which each term beyond the first is found by multiplying the preceding term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Senses/Usages:

• Mathematics:
  • A sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by a constant ratio.
  • A mathematical series whose terms form a geometric progression.

Sample Sentences:

• In the geometric series 2, 4, 8, 16, the common ratio is 2.
• The sum of an infinite geometric series can be calculated using the formula S = a/(1 - r), where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio.
