This wizard is used to find the nth term of a geometric progression given its first term, a1, and the ratio, d.

 

It can be accessed by clicking on Wizard Button | Sequences | Find the nth term of a geometric progression.

 

To determine the above:

  • Fill the input boxes corresponding to a1, d and n. Note that "n" represents the position of the term you wish to find (for example, if you want to find the fifth term you will need to write n = 5).
  • Click on the "Solve Step" button to see the next step or "Solve all" button to see all steps.
