A geometric progression {a,ar,ar2,…}\{a, ar, ar^{2}, \ldots\} with common ratio r (r≠1)r\,(r\neq1) is transformed into another progression by multiplying every term by a constant kk. If the fourth term of the original progression equals the sum of the first three terms of the new progression, find kk in terms of rr.
