This series can only be a geometric sequence if
Explanation:
The general form of a geometric sequence is the following:
or more formally
Since we have the sequence
Dividing by
Since we have
Furthermore we found
From this we conclude
To the nearest hundredth this gives
As Daan has said, if the sequence is to be geometric, we must have
Explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the terms have a common ratio.
So, if this sequence is to be geometric, we must have:
Solving this equation gets us
