Geometric Progression


     A geometric progression (also known as a geometric sequence or a geometric series) is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number called the common ratio. Example: 1,3,9,27... common ratio is 3.

    Also a, b, c, d, ... are said to be in Geometric Progression (GP) if   b/a = c/b = d/c etc.

 

1.A GP is of the form     the general form of a geometric progression in algebra mathetc. Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.


2.The nth term of a Geometric Progression is given by  
the nth term of a geometric progression formula in algebra maths.

3.The sum of the first n terms of a Geometric Progression is given by


1.When r<1       the sum of the first n terms of the geometric progression formula in algebra maths           2.When r>1       the sum of the first n terms of the geometric progression formula in algebra math

 

3.When r =1 the progression is constant of the for a,a,a,a,a,...etc.

 

4.Sum of the infinite series of a Geometric Progression when |r|<1 is:


the sum of the infinite series of a geometric progression formula in algebra math

 

5.Geometric Mean (GM) of two numbers a and b is given by    the geometric mean of two numbers formula in algebra maths .
