Re: sequences and series
r = common ratio multiplier
k = starting number
n = # of terms
Product = (k^n)(r^(n-1))

Re: sequences and series
I get it as (k^n)(r^[n(n-1)/2].
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: sequences and series
Wowuh, mathsy is correct.
I forgot that the multipliers keep adding up in a triangle of bowling pins.
