The equation to find the nth term of a geometric sequence

A geometric sequence is a sequence where nth term is the preceding term multiplied by a common ratio. For example: 2,4,8,16,32. Likewise, 32,16,8,4,2 is also a geometric sequence.

The first number of the sequence is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on.
