Tutorial on Geometric Series Calculation
Instruction on how to use the calculator.
Step 1. Enter 3 in box n3 Why? It is the third number in geometric series.
Step 2. Enter 2.93 the recorded value for third number
Step 3. Enter 6 in box n6
Step 4. Enter 5.28 the recorded value for the sixth number. Select Solve button
Step 5. Enter 5 in box nnth Why? Because you are asked to compute the expected value for the 5th term
Step 6. Now you can predict the last number at any position of the geometric series. How ? Enter any integer number in box n nth to compute the expected value of the Last term, L nth term
For example n nth = 9
L nth = 9.5229
Step 7. Total number of geometric series up to the last number term or last position is calculated automatically.

Total Population nth =
Notice the equation is similar to the Last Term equation
Ln = a r
n-1
Where:
a = first term = 1.979 ;
r = geometric ratio = 1.217
And n = number of series is represented by the x-axis
While L = last term value is represented by the y-axis.
