Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next two terms. \(\sqrt{5}, 5,5 \sqrt{5}, 25, \ldots\)
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(3,12,48,192, \ldots\)
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=\frac{1}{4}, r=2\)
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=1000, r=1\)
