Show

Geometric growth/decay

Quantity changes by same % at regular intervals

Recurrence relation

Formula defining term from previous term(s)

Common ratio

Fixed multiplier between consecutive terms

Meaning of R>1R > 1

Geometric growth

Meaning of R<1R < 1

Geometric decay

Compound interest

Interest added to principal, then earns interest

RR for compound interest (rate rr%)

R=1+r100R = 1 + \frac{r}{100}

Reducing balance depreciation

Value drops by fixed % of previous year's value

RR for reducing balance depreciation (rate rr%)

R=1r100R = 1 - \frac{r}{100}

Geometric recurrence relation form

V0=initial,Vn+1=RVnV_0 = \text{initial}, V_{n+1} = RV_n
