Problem
In an infinite geometric progression with positive terms, the sum of all its terms is three times the sum of every alternate term beginning with the second term. If the sum to infinity of the progression is 45, answer the following.
(i) Determine the common ratio of the progression.
(ii) Find the first term.
(iii) Calculate the sum of the squares of all its terms.
