Identify the Sequence 12 , 36 , 108 , 324 ; dotsdots

This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by ${\displaystyle 3}$ gives the next term. In other words, ${\displaystyle a_n=a_1{r}^{n-1}}$.

Geometric Sequence: ${\displaystyle r=3}$

This is the form of a geometric sequence.
