If a, b, c are in G.P., prove that : a(b2 + c2) = c(a2 + b2)

Answer»

Now, as a,b,c are in GP. 

Using the idea of geometric mean we can write

∴ b2 = ac …(1) 

Put in the LHS of the given equation to be proved 

LHS = a(ac + c2) {putting b2 = ac} 

⇒ LHS = a2c + ac2 

⇒ LHS = c(a2 + ac) 

Again put ac = b2 

⇒ LHS = c(a2 + b2) = RHS 

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S 

Hence proved
