GEOMETRICSERIES (Start,CommonRatio,Numbers,OnlyNth)


  • is the minimum number of the series.
  • is the difference of the two numbers in the series.


Description

  • This function returns the value of the Geometric Series.
  • In  ,   is the Initial number of the geometric series.
  •   is the difference between the numbers.
  •   is the number of the terms to display.
  •   means it will show the final term of the series.
  • Geometric series means a series of numbers or quantities in geometric progression.
  • So it is the ratio of successive terms in the series is constant.
  • Geometric series using only two terms r and a.
  • The term r is the common ratio,and a is the first term of the series.
  • The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is:

  with   and  

  • This function will return the result as Error when the parameters are non-numeric.
