GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION
A sequence of non-zero numbers is called a geometric progression (G.P.) if the ratio of the term and the term preceding to it is always a constant quantity.

A sequence a1, a2, a3, a4, ………an, an+1  is called geometric progression. 
If   is the common ratio of GP. Where  
General Geometric Progression is  a, ar, ar2, ar3, ……….., arn-1

First term = a, Second term = ar,  and so on and  r is the common ratio of GP
nth term in GP is =  arn-1 
Sum of first n terms in GP is 
Sum of first n terms in GP is
Sum to infinite terms in GP.
General GP with infinite number of terms is of the following type
ar, ar2, ar3, ……….., arn-1 .........∞
Sum to infinite terms of GP is given by
SELECTION OF TERMS IN G.P.

FourtermsinG.P.are:ar3,ar,ar,ar3,herecommonratioisr2FivetermsinG.P.are:ar2,ar,a,ar,ar2,herecommonratioisr
PROPERTIES OF GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION:- 
1) If all the terms of G.P.  be  multiplied  or  divided  by  the  sane  non- zero  constant,    then  it remains a   G.P.   with  common  ratio  r.
2) Reciprocal of the terms of a G.P. form a G.P.
3) If each term of a G.P. raised to the same power , the resulting sequence also form a G.P.

GEOMETRIC MEAN 
If a, b, c are the three terms of GP then b is said to be the Geometric Mean and is given byb=acorb2=ac
Explanation:- 
If a, b, c are in GP thenba=r=cbba=cbb2=acb=ac

Componendo and Dividendo
If four terms a, b, c, d are proportional then ab=cd
When we apply componendo and dividendo then we get  a+bab=c+dcd

SPECIAL RESULTS:-
Sum of first n  natural number  is given by
Sum of square of first n natural number is given by
Sum of cube of first n natural number is

Question:
The first term of an infinite G.P. is 1 and any term is equal to the sum of all terms that follow it. Find the infinite G.P.
Solution:  It is given that:   a = 1

A.T.Q.        Tn = Tn+1 + Tn+2 + Tn+3 +  ……………………

                  arn-1 = arn + arn+1 + arn+2 + ……………………

arn1=arn1rNow cross multiply it  and putting a = 1 we get rn1rn=rn2rn=rn12r=1r=12

Putting a = 1 and r = 1/2 we get the required sequence as follows 12,14,116,.......,
