For someone who sucks at math, would you be able to give a TL;DR on what a geometric sequence is?

A geometric sequence is a sequence (that is an ordered list of numbers, usually following some pattern). The nth number in this sequence (a_n) can be generated by multiplying the base a by r^n, so a_2 would be a*r^2. Hope that makes it clear!

Each value in a geometric sequence is found by multiplying the previous value by a constant. e.g. 1,2,4,8,16,32,... with r = 2 and N1 = 1
