A geometric progression is said to be non-constant if at least two of its consecutive terms are unequal. Prove the following statement: a. (i) If a non-constant geometric progression with first term a (≠0)a\,(\neq 0) could be expressed using two different common ratios r1r_{1} and r2r_{2}, then r1=r2r_{1}=r_{2}. Hence, the common ratio of any non-constant geometric progression is unique.
