Explanation:
A sequence is a list of numbers.
A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.
<u>Examples</u>
- 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
- 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
- 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

<u>General Term</u>
Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...
a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence
where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...
- a(n) = 2^(n -1)
- a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
- a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)
You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

<u>Sum of Terms</u>
Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.
S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence
When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...
S = a(1)/(1-r)
<u>Solution-</u>
Let's assume, the rate of interest of $8000 is x%,
then the rate of interest of $17000 is (x+0.3x) =1.3x%
Interest earned by $8000,
Interest earned by $17,000,
According to the question,
∴ Rate of interest of $8000 is 1.96% and rate of interest of $17000 is (1.3×1.96) =2.55%
|a+bi| = √(a² + b²)
-4-√2 i -> take a = -4 and b = -√2
|-4-√2 i| = √[ (-4)² + (<span>-√2)² ]
= </span><span>√[ 16 + 2<span> ]
</span></span><span>= √[ 18 ]</span> = <span>√[ 9 * 2 ]
= 3√2
the absolute value is 3√2</span>
