If the 4th, 10th and 16th terms of a GP are x, y, z respectively, prove that x, y, z are in GP. |
|
Answer» Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio of the given GP. Then, `T_(4)=x, T_(10)=y` and `T_(16)=z`. `rArr ar^(3)=x, ar^(9)=y` and `ar^(15)=z`. `:. y^(2)=(ar^(9))^(2)=a^(2)r^(18)` and `xz=(ar^(3))(ar^(15))=a^(2)r^(18)`. Consequently, we have `y^(2)=xz`. Hence, x, y, z are in GP. |
