Sequence: In mathematics, a sequence is a list of objects (or events) arranged in a "linear" fashion, such that the order of the members is well defined and significant.
In other words, a sequence can be defined by a function f: N S, where N is set of natural numbers and S is any abstract set.
With f(1) = f1, f(2) = f2, ......... f(n) = fn
And the sequence is represented as: {f1,f2,f3,.........fn}
NOTE: If the letter n is finite, then the sequence is called as finite sequence, otherwise if n is infinite, and then the sequence is an infinite sequence.
Geometric progression: It is also called as geometric sequence, which is a sequence of numbers such that the quotient of any two successive members of sequence is a constant called common ratio of the sequence.
Thus, we have a geometric sequence written as
a1 = ar0, a2 = ar1, a3 = ar2,........., an = arn-1......, where r is the common ratio, a ...
