Sequence and series are found in the Advanced Functions chapter of the Equations, Inequalities, and VICs strategy guide (Strategy Guide #3).

Hope that helps.

Hi.

Surfing on google about the argument of G.P. i find this kind of statement

If the ratio of the sum of the first 6 terms of a G.P. to the sum of the first 3 terms of the G.P. is 9, what is the
common ratio of the G.P?

To solve the problem is used this formula

ar^n-a/r-1

I think this is rare as question on gmat, however I didn't see it in the guide 3th.

I have to worry about ???

Thanks to the staff

I'm sorry, but what does "G.P." stand for?
