Solution
Let a1, a2, a3, ................., an, ..........be a G.P. with common ratio r.
⇒ `(a_(n+1))/a_n` = r for all n ∈ N
If each term of a G.P. is raised to the power x, we get the sequence `"a"_1^x, "a"_2^x, "a"_3^x, ............,"a"_n^x,.........`
Now, `(a_(n+1))^x/(a_n)^x=((a_(n+1))/a_n)^x=r^x` for all n ∈ N
Hence, `"a"_1^x, "a"_2^x, "a"_3^x, ............,"a"_n^x,.........` is also a G.P.
