It is a string of numbers where, apart from the first number, each member is a fixed number of times the previous number.
So if the first number is 2 and the constant multiple is 3, you have 2, 6, 18, 54, 162 etc.

Is a geometric progression a quadratic sequence?
A geometric sequence is : a•r^n while a quadratic sequence is a• n^2 + b•n + c So the answer is no, unless we are talking about an infinite sequence of zeros which strictly speaking is both a geometric and a quadratic sequence.
Why is geometric progression preferred over arithmetic progression?
The question cannot be answered because it assumes something which is simply not true. There are some situations in which arithmetic progression is more appropriate and others in which geometric progression is more appropriate. Neither of them is "preferred".
What is the common ratio of the geometric progression?
The common ratio is the ratio of the nth term (n > 1) to the (n-1)th term. For the progression to be geometric, this ratio must be a non-zero constant.
Application of geometric progression in business?
Immediately springing to mind, geometric progression is used in accountancy in finding the Net Present Value of projects (specifically, the value of money each year based on the discount factor). It is also used in annuities, working out monthly repayments of loans and values of investments - compound interest is a geometric progression.
Insert 3 geometric means between 1 and 256?
Geometric progression 1, 4, 16, 64, 256 would seem to fit...
How can you tell if a infinite geometric series has a sum or not?
The geometric series is, itself, a sum of a geometric progression. The sum of an infinite geometric sequence exists if the common ratio has an absolute value which is less than 1, and not if it is 1 or greater.
Is a geometric progression a quadratic sequence?
A geometric sequence is : a•r^n while a quadratic sequence is a• n^2 + b•n + c So the answer is no, unless we are talking about an infinite sequence of zeros which strictly speaking is both a geometric and a quadratic sequence.
What is the mathematical concept of arithmetic progression?

Who invented geometric progression?
Gauss
What is the pattern for a half a quarter and an eighth?
It's a geometric progression with the initial term 1/2 and common ratio 1/2. The infinite sum of the series is 1.
What are the applications of arithmetic progression and geometric progression in business applications?

What type of list is 125 -50 20 -8?
It is a geometric progression.
What is infinite geometric sequence?
An example of an infinite geometric sequence is 3, 5, 7, 9, ..., the three dots represent that the number goes on forever.
Practical use of arithmetic progression?
Arithmetic progression and geometric progression are used in mathematical designs and patterns and also used in all engineering projects involving designs.
