Outlines
đ Introduction to Geometric Sequences
Sir Jason Flores introduces the topic of geometric sequences in the context of logical reasoning and critical thinking skills. The lesson aims to help viewers identify geometric sequences, find common ratios, and determine missing terms. Real-life examples such as plant growth, social media engagement, and bank savings are used to illustrate the practical application of geometric sequences. The challenge problem involves saving money to buy a blouse, with the savings doubling each week, starting from 5 pesos. The process of calculating the total savings over six weeks is outlined, leading to a conclusion about the feasibility of purchasing the blouse.
đ Understanding Geometric Sequences and Common Ratios
This section delves deeper into the concept of geometric sequences, emphasizing the role of the common ratio (r) in determining the sequence's pattern. The common ratio is defined as the constant number by which each term is multiplied to obtain the next term. The process of finding the common ratio by dividing successive terms is explained, and the concept is applied to identify missing terms in a sequence. An example sequence (3, 12, 48, ...) is used to demonstrate how to calculate the common ratio and predict the next term, highlighting the importance of recognizing patterns in numbers.
đĄ Finding Missing Terms in Geometric Sequences
The paragraph focuses on techniques for finding missing terms in geometric sequences, whether they are preceding or succeeding terms. It explains that to find a preceding term, one should divide the succeeding term by the common ratio, and to find a succeeding term, multiply the preceding term by the common ratio. An example sequence (32, 64, 128, ...) is used to illustrate these methods, with the common ratio determined and then applied to find the missing terms. The importance of identifying the correct common ratio and applying it appropriately to find missing terms is emphasized.
đż Comparing Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences
This part of the script contrasts arithmetic and geometric sequences. It explains that an arithmetic sequence is formed by adding a common difference to the preceding term, while a geometric sequence is formed by multiplying the preceding term by a common ratio. The script uses sequences (12, 15, 18, ...) and (5, 15, 45, ...) to demonstrate these concepts, clarifying the difference between common difference and common ratio. The lesson reinforces the idea that understanding these differences is crucial for correctly identifying the type of sequence and solving related problems.
đ Applying Knowledge of Sequences
The final paragraph of the script challenges viewers to apply their newfound knowledge to determine whether given sequences are arithmetic or geometric. It presents four sequences and guides viewers through the process of identifying the pattern and type of sequence. The conclusion summarizes the lesson, emphasizing the practicality of learning mathematical concepts and encouraging viewers to continue their educational journey. The script ends with a call to action for viewers to engage with the Debbie TV YouTube channel, highlighting the fun and easy approach to learning math.

hi
good day welcome in today's episode of
debbie tv i am sir jason flores
also your math buddy and i will be here
to help you in developing
your logical reasoning and critical
thinking skills
is your self-learning module ready
what about your pen and paper
great let's begin a fun and exciting
lesson
for this lesson you are expected to
determine a geometric sequence
identify the common ratio of a geometric
sequence
find the missing term of a geometric
sequence
determine whether a sequence is
geometric or
arithmetic and explain
inductively the difference between
arithmetic sequence
and geometric sequence using real life
situations arithmetic sequences
were presented to you in the previous
episodes
using real life situations
in this episode we will determine a
geometric sequence
and differentiate it from an arithmetic
sequence
have you ever wondered how plants grow
in your facebook account how would you
know
how many likers or reactors will you
have
in a couple of minutes if a certain
pattern is observed
when saving your money in the bank have
you realized
how much will it increase monthly
quarterly or yearly
these are just but situations that will
help you arrange or organize
things accurately and make wise
decisions
well let's take the challenge by
answering the first problem
you are planning to buy a new blouse
which
costs 300 pesos as a present to your
mother
this christmas season you started saving
money
on the first week of november and
doubled the amount to be saved every
week
if you started saving five pesos on the
first week
will you be able to buy the blouse at
the end of the second week of december
[Music]
to solve the problem you must have to
analyze
accurately the given situation
to help us understand the problem easier
let's present the given in tabular form
there are six weeks from the first week
of november
up to the second week of december
the initial amount saved is 5 pesos
while your target amount at the end of
the second week of december
is 300 pesos the amount to be saved is
doubled every week
since we started with five pesos for the
first week
for the second week you have to save two
times 5
pesos so that's 10 pesos
for the second week from 10 pesos
how much you should save for the third
week
yes that's right that's 10
times 2 will give you 20 pesos for the
third week
how about the fourth week
yes that's 20 times 2
will give you 40 pesos for the fourth
week
how about on the fifth week
yes that's 40 times 2
will give you 80 pesos for the fifth
week
how about on the sixth week how much
will you save
try it yourself i'll give you five
seconds
well on the sixth week you should save
that's right 160 pesos
after six weeks how much will you save
all in all
that's right you will have 315
pesos after six weeks
from that amount can you buy that blouse
as a christmas present
your mom yes you can
absolutely
what is the sequence obtained
we have the sequence 5 10
20 40
80 and 160.
can you see any pattern from this
sequence
yes that's right considering
five pesos as the first term
the second term 10 can be obtained
by multiplying the first term
5 to a constant number
2. by multiplying the constant number 2
to the second term 10 you will get
the third term 20 and so on
the constant number being multiplied to
the terms
to get the next term is referred to
as the common ratio
represented by the letter r
again the constant number being
multiplied to the terms
to get the next term is referred to
as the common ratio represented with the
letter r
this sequence is an example of geometric
sequence
using the given terms of the sequence
how will you obtain the common ratio
the common ratio r is obtained
by dividing the succeeding term by the
preceding term
again the common ratio r
is obtained by dividing the succeeding
term
by the preceding term or simply using
this formula
a sub 2 divided by a sub 1
or a sub 3 divided by a sub 2
or a sub 4 divided by a sub 3
and so on do you know
that by using the common ratio r
we can get the missing terms of the
sequence
let's try this identify
the value of the missing term that will
satisfy
the given geometric sequence 3
12 48
blank the missing term
is the succeeding term and comes after
48. to obtain the missing term
let's determine first the common ratio
and that is dividing the second term
or a sub 2
by the first term a sub 1. let's
substitute the values a sub 2 is equal
to
that is 12
divided by a sub 1 which is 3
and 12 divided by 3 will give us 4.
or you can also use a sub 3
divided by a sub 2.
our a sub 3 or the third term is 48
divided by our a sub 2 or the second
term that is 12. 48 divided by 12
will also give us 4. therefore
our common ratio r is equal to
4. now using the common ratio 4
we will get the next term by multiplying
the third term which is 48
times the common ratio
our a sub 4 now
is equal to a sub 3 which is 48
times the common ratio which is 4
our a sub 4 is equal to
192
how about if the first term is missing
just like in this example blank
32 64 128
the missing term is a preceding term
and comes before 32
what should we do next
yes we will determine the common ratio
again that is by dividing the succeeding
term
by its preceding term since we don't
have
the first term we can resort to dividing
the third term
or a sub 3
which is 64
by the second term
or a sub 2 that is equal to
32 dividing 64 by 32
we will get 2
or we can use the fourth term
a sub 4
which is equal to 128
divided by our third term
or a sub 3 which is equal to 64.
128 divided by 64 will give us
2. thus
the common ratio for this sequence
is 2.
since you are looking for the unknown
preceding term
instead of multiplying we will divide
the second term 32
by the common ratio 2
which is equal to
correct that is equal to 16.
thus our first term or a sub 1
in the geometric sequence is 16.
so amazing isn't it
remember to identify the missing term
first you must have to find the
common ratio if the unknown
value is a succeeding term
then multiply the preceding term
to the common ratio if the unknown
value is a preceding term
then divide the succeeding term
by the common ratio
let's see what you've learned find
the common ratio and the missing
values in the sequence blank
negative 10 50
negative 250
blank
as you can notice we don't have
the first term or a sub 1 and
the last term or a sub 5.
first thing we need to do is
to look for the common ratio r
and that is using the given values from
our sequence
in this case we will use the third term
a sub 3 divided by
the second term which is negative 10
so that's 50 divided by
negative 10 we will get negative 5.
we get negative 5 because we divide
numbers with
unlike signs to confirm whether we have
the same common ratio we will try
the fourth term a sub 4
divided by the third term which is a sub
3
that is equal to a sub 4 is negative 250
divided by the third term which is 50
negative 250 divided by 50 will give us
negative 5. see
if you use a sub 3 divided by a sub 2 or
a sub 4 divided by a sub 3 you will get
the same
common ratio since we now have the
common ratio let's find
the first term and that is by dividing
the second term a sub 2
by the common ratio
a sub 2
is equal to negative 10
divided by the common ratio
which is negative 5
our a sub 1 now is equal to negative 10
divided by negative 5
that is positive 2. positive since
we are dividing numbers with like signs
and to look for the fifth term
or a sub 5 since we're looking for the
next
term
we will use multiplication
multiplying the fourth term to the
common ratio
which is negative five so that's a sub
five
is equal to the product of a sub four
and the common ratio a sub 5
is equal to our fourth term is negative
250
times the common ratio which is negative
five
our a sub 5 is equal to
1250
positive since we are multiplying
numbers with
like signs
thus the fifth term
of the sequence is 1250
and the missing terms are
two and 1250
respectively from the given sequence
notice that there is a common ratio
being multiplied
to obtain the succeeding term or terms
or dividing the given succeeding term
by the common ratio to get the preceding
term
bear in mind these concepts will help
you determine
that a given sequence is a geometric
sequence
take a look at these sequences
for letter a 12 15
18 21 and so on
b 5 15
45 135
and so on which do you think
is a geometric sequence
how about an arithmetic sequence
notice in sequence a a number
is added to the first term 12
to get the second term 15.
likewise the same number is
added to the second term 15
to get the third term 18
and so on what is the constant number
correct three what do you call
the constant number three in the
sequence
yes it is called the common
difference now
let's take a look at sequence b
notice a number is multiplied to the
first
term 5 to get the second term
15. and the same number
is multiplied to the second term
15 to get the third term
45 and so on
what is the constant number
yes it's three and
what do you call the constant number
three
multiplied to the term to get the
succeeding term
very well we call it the common ratio
take a look again to the given sequences
for sequence a 12 15
18 21 and so on
is
[Music]
you're right since a common difference
3 is added to the preceding term to get
the next term
therefore it is an arithmetic sequence
for sequence b 5
15 45
135 and so on
is what type of sequence
that's right it is a geometric
sequence because a common ratio
3 is multiplied to the preceding term
to get this exceeding term
using the table determine the pattern
and the type of sequence the following
belongs
for sequence a that's 6
11 16
21 and so on
what is the pattern
yes that's correct 5 is
added to the preceding term to get the
next term
what type of sequence is that
correct that is arithmetic sequence
let's proceed to sequence b 3
9 27 81
and so on what is the pattern
that's correct three is multiplied
to the preceding term to get the
succeeding term
and what type of sequence is that
correct that is geometric sequence
congratulations for a job well done
now that you've learned the concepts
related to geometric sequence
how does arithmetic sequence differ
from geometric sequence
well an arithmetic sequence is a
sequence obtained
by adding a common difference d
to the preceding term in order to obtain
the next term or terms
while a geometric sequence is a sequence
obtained
by multiplying a common ratio
r to the preceding term in order to
obtain
thus exceeding term or terms
now determine if the following sequence
is arithmetic or geometric
number 1 2 6
18 54 162
and so on
number two one three
five seven and so on
number three negative one
zero one two
three and so on
and number four three 6
12 24 and
so on
you're right items two
and three are arithmetic sequences
with a common difference of two
and one respectively
while items one and four
are geometric sequences with a common
ratio
of three and two
respectively
oh so awesome right
