... The first three terms of this sequence are 12, 36, 108. Multiplying a term by three predicts the subsequent term. Thus, the fourth term of the sequence would be 324 because 3 × 108 = 324. The factor, in this case 3, is a "common ratio" because it equals the ratio of a term and the previous term. Seq ...

... b is written as a b or ab. The product of 4 and x is 4x. We also use parentheses to indicate multiplication. For example, the product of 4 and 3 is written as 4 3, 4(3), (4)3, or (4)(3). Multiplication is just a short way to do repeated additions. Adding five 2’s gives ...

This is not a difficult sequence so it will be a good example for us to use to explain more difficult concepts.
