Property 1: In a finite GP, the product of terms equidistant from beginning and end is constant: * = * = ... = a * l.
Property 2: If , ..., is GP with ratio r, then , , ..., is GP (same r). Also 1/, 1/, ..., 1/ is GP .
Property 3: If , ..., and , ..., are both GP, then , , ... is GP (ratio r1*r2). Also /, /, ... is GP.
Property 4: If a, b, c are in GP (=ac), then:
- log a, log b, log c are in AP )
- , , are in GP
Property 5: If each term of a GP is raised to the same power, the result is still GP.
Property 6: In an infinite GP with |r| < 1, the sum approaches and the terms approach 0.
