Prepared by: Engr. Jio Renel B. Perez
 In mathematics, a geometric progression,
also known as a geometric sequence, is a
sequence of numbers where each term after
the first is found by multiplying the previous
one by a fixed, non-zero number called the
common ratio (r).

 For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is

a geometric progression with common ratio
3.
