Are you trying to find a particular term in the geometric sequence?

For example, in the geometric sequence 2,4,8,16 to find the 15th term we would use the formula a sub n = a sub 1 x r ^(n-1), where a sub n is the nth term of the geometric sequence
a sub 1 is the 1st term of the geometric sequence
r is common ratio between successive terms
n is the term you are looking for

In our example, a sub 1 is 2, r is 2 and n is 15.

a sub n = a sub 1 x r ^(n-1)
a sub 15 = 2x 2(15-1)
a sub 15 = 2 ^ 15
a sub 15 = 32,768

On your calculator, you use the key to the right of x^2 to do x to the nth power.

Good luck.

SOURCE: Geometric Mean

can't quite make out the detail on buttons on the image I have of your calculator but here goes.

say for example, the geometric mean of 2 × 3 × 6 × 8 is the 4th root of 288, or approximately 4.12.

enter nth root first, in this case 4 then shift then root symbol then open bracket, 2x3x6x8, close bracket then = ,
should give you 4.1195 etc

How can I solve geometric by easy method.

First, understand the nature of a geometric sequence, essentially one notes the multiple that makes the common distance between numbers in a set. That multiple is called the ratio. Here is one of the better explanations: https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/sequences-sums-geometric.html

I would suggest practicing an example until you are comfortable with how the formula works. For a deeper look into the formula, you might look up the Khan Academy's discussion of geometric sequences and the formula. But if simply looking for problem solving steps, you can look at the links at https://www.effortlessmath.com/math-topics/geometric-sequences/

There are YouTube videos about geomtric sequencing. If you need more assistance, you might try a few of such. Sadly, nothing about math come easy to me and I might suggest seeing a tutor if it is proving elusive.

HP10BII+ CALCULATING THE GEOMETRIC MEAN, WHEN I HIT yX it says pend and won't calculate?

When an HP calculator displays pend(ing) it is waiting for the user to complete the command. From what I understand you are raising some number to a power. You enter the number (base) you press a shift key of some sort then the [Y^x] and the calculator displays pend. It is waiting for you to enter the exponent.
