EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2,6,18,54,... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. Similarly 10,5,2.5,1.25,... is a geometric sequence with common ratio of 1/2. Examples of a geometric sequence are powers rk of a fixed number r, such as 2k and 3k. The general form of a geometric sequence is where r ≠ 0 is the common ratio and a is a scale factor, equal to the sequence's start value The study entitled Analysis of Branching of Plants Using Geometric Sequence was conducted at the University of Rizal System located at Sumulong Street, Morong Rizal. The researchers used the qualitative method because it is primarily explanatory research. It is used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. During the conduct of this study, the researchers were able to gathered data for analysis rationale. Based from the analysis, the researchers concluded that the Geometric Sequence is applicable and can be seen in branching of specific plants like Crepe Jasmine and Pandakaki. On the other hand, the branching of Huckleberry, Crowberry, Asthma Weed and Crown of Thorns wherein Geometric sequence is not applicable. The researchers recommended with the virtue of the preceding summary of findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are hereby stated: Find another real life example of geometric sequence aside from plants and use other mathematical sequence for further enhancement of the study.
