Equation from Rule for Geometric Pattern (Level 1)

This math topic involves generating the equations of geometric sequences from given rules for each pattern. The students are provided a rule (such as "start at a number and multiply by a specific number for each subsequent term"), and they need to derive the equation describing this sequence. Each question offers multiple choices represented in LaTeX format, and students must identify the correct mathematical representation that matches the described pattern, testing their understanding of geometric sequences and equation formation.
