Common Ratio
In a geometric sequence, the consistent factor by which each term is multiplied to produce the next term.
Geometric Sequence
A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.
