Geometric Sequences & Series (Typos)

Hey guys. I finished both assignment 1 and 2 for Geometric Sequences & Series and noticed 2 typos. I thought beforehand I would tell you guys about this typo so things can make a bit more sense. I don't know if any of you guys will check this blog over the spring break but I am leaving this up for your reference!

If you open up your booklet and turn to page 5 to example 4: (How many terms are in the geometric sequence 5, 10, 20,...20480?), if you look to the bottom left you will see a list of known and unknown variables.

The common ratio (r) was set to 10 but it is 2. (10/5 = 2, 20/10 = 2 etc)

And if you turn to page 10 and look at example 4 again: (Find the series of the given geometric sequence: 3, 6, 12,...,12582912)

The t1 (term 1) was set to 5 but it is 3.

I haven't read Infinite Geometric Series yet, but once I do and notice a typo I will make sure to post it. Good luck guys! (It's actually easy haha)

Have a great spring break! :)
