Insert 3 geometric means between 16 and 256. |
|
Answer» Let G1, G2, G3 be the required means. Then 16, G1, G2, G3, 256 form a G.P. Let r be the common ratio. ⇒ 256 = 5th term = ar4 = 16 × r4 ⇒ 16r4 = 256 ⇒ r4 = 16 ⇒ r = 2 ∴ G1 = ar = 16 x 2 = 32 G2 = ar2 = 16 x 4 = 64 G3 = ar3 = 16 x 8 = 128 Hence 32, 64 and 128 are the required G.M’s between 16 and 256. |
