1. Define a geometrical progression. Learn to derive the four formulas in geometrical progression: 2. How many terms must be taken from the series 9, 18, 36, ··· to make a total of 567? 3. In the G. P. 2, 6, 18, ···, which term is 486? 4. Find x, if are in geometrical progression. 5. How can you turn a G. P. into an equation? 6. Insert 4 geometrical means between 4 and 972. 7. Insert 6 geometrical means between and 5120. 8. Given find r and S. 9. If the first term of a geometrical progression is 12 and the sum to infinity is 36, find the 4th term. 10. If the series ··· be an A. P., find the 97th term. If a G. P., find the sum to infinity. 11. The third term of a geometrical progression is 36; the 6th term is 972. Find the first and second terms. 12. Insert between 6 and 16 two numbers, such that the first three of the four shall be in arithmetical progression, and the last three in geometrical progression. 13. A rubber ball falls from a height of 40 inches and on each rebound rises 40% of the previous height. Find by formula how far it falls on its eighth descent. (Yale.)
