Tagent at a point ${P_1}$ {other than $(0, 0)$} on the curve $y = {x^3}$ meets the curve again at ${P_2}$. The tangent at ${P_2}$ meets the curve at ${P_3}$, and so on. Show that the abscissae of ${P_1},\,{P_2},{P_3}......{P_n},$ form a G.P. Also find the ratio.

[area $\left( {\Delta {P_1},{P_2},{P_3}} \right)$]/[area $\left( {{P_2},{P_3},{P_4}} \right)$]
