In a G.P. of positive terms if any terms is equal to the sum of nexttow terms, find the common ratio of the G.P. |
|
Answer» Let the G.P. is, `a, ar,ar^2,ar^3...` Here, `a` is the first term and `r` is the common ratio. Then, it is given that , `ar+ar^2 = a` `=>r+r^2 = 1` `=>r^2+r-1 = 0` `=> r = (-1+-(sqrt(1-4(-1)(1))))/2 =+- (sqrt5-1)/2` Here, we will take only positive value as it is given that G.P. is of positive terms. So, common ratio of this G.P. is `(sqrt5-1)/2.` |
