This correspondence follows the usual pattern that any arithmetic sequence is a sequence of logarithms of terms of a geometric sequence and any geometric sequence is a sequence of exponentiations of terms of an arithmetic sequence. Sums of logarithms correspond

When the common ratio of a geometric sequence is positive, the sequence's terms will all share the sign of the first term. When the common ratio of a geometric sequence is negative, the sequence's terms alternate between positive and negative; this is called an alternating sequence. For instance the

sequence 1, βˆ’3, 9, βˆ’27, 81, βˆ’243, ... is an alternating geometric sequence with an initial value of 1 and a common ratio of βˆ’3. When the initial term and common ratio are complex numbers, the terms'
