Does anyone know what this following sequence is called?
3,6,12,24,48…
I saw somewhere that it is similar to Pisot sequence. Can anyone confirm?
Mucho gracias, me hombres!
Its just a standard geometric sequence… I dont think its got a specific name.
Geometric progression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Every number is multiplied by 2. 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and then 96, 192 etc.
Bodes law just uses the numbers… it doesnt look like its the name of the sequence.
I did not meant this as a brain teaser. My son was asked to research and come up with the name or term to describe the sequence. I could not find anything online and thought maybe one of you clever cloggs would know.
Ive had another look and cant find a name for it. I found the reference to a Pisot sequence but I wouldnt use that.
My final answer is geometric… a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, ar^4 etc where a = first number (in this case 3) and r = 2.
The formula is (nth term) An=ar^n-1
ie the 12 term (when n=12) is 6144 … 3x2^11
Right, as you are clearly a… chich and chong fan. I will take your word for it!
Thanks all!
