Question

  1. what does it mean when the common ratio is between 0 and 1?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a geometric sequence, when the common ratio \(r\) is between 0 and 1 (\(0 < r<1\)), each term is smaller than the previous term. As the sequence progresses, the terms get closer and closer to 0. This is because multiplying a non - zero number by a positive fraction (a number between 0 and 1) results in a smaller number.

Answer:

In a geometric sequence, the terms are getting smaller and approaching 0 as the sequence progresses.
