The first, second and third terms of a geometric progression are \(3k\), \(5k - 6\) and \(6k - 4\), respectively.

  1. Show that \(k\) satisfies the equation \(7k^2 - 48k + 36 = 0\).
  2. Find, showing all necessary working, the exact values of the common ratio corresponding to each of the possible values of \(k\).
  3. One of these ratios gives a progression which is convergent. Find the sum to infinity.
