问题1:在以下之间找到AM:
(i)7和13(ii)12和-8(iii)(x – y)和(x + y)
解决方案:
(i) 7 and 13
Let A be the Arithmetic Mean of 7 and 13.
Then,
7, A and 13 are in A.P.
Now,
A – 7 = 13 – A
2A = 13 + 7
A = 20/2 = 10
∴ A.M. = 10
(ii) 12 and -8
Let A be the Arithmetic Mean of 12 and -8.
Then, 12, A and -8 are in A.P.
Now,
A – 12 = – 8 – A
2A = 12 + 8
A = 2
∴ A.M. = 2
(iii) (x – y) and (x + y)
Let A be the Arithmetic Mean of (x – y) and (x + y).
Then, (x – y), A and (x + y) are in A.P.
Now,
A – (x – y) = (x + y) – A
2A = x + y + x – y
A = x
∴ A.M. = x
问题2:在4到19之间插入4个AM
解决方案:
Let A1, A2, A3, A4 be the 4 A.M.s Between 4 and 19.
Then, 4, A1, A2, A3, A4, 19 are in A.P. of 6 terms.
We know,
An = a + (n – 1).d
a = 4
Then,
a6 = 19 = 4 + (6 – 1).d
∴ d = 3
Now,
A1 = a + d = 4 + 3 = 7
A2 = A1 + d = 7 + 3 = 10
A3 = A2 + d = 10 + 3 = 13
A4 = A3 + d = 13 + 3 = 16
∴ The 4 A.M.s between 4 and 16 are 7, 10, 13 and 16.
问题3:在2到17之间插入7个AM
解决方案:
Let A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 be the 7 A.M.s between 2 and 17.
Then, 2, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, 17 are in A.P. of 9 terms.
We know,
An = a + (n – 1).d
a = 2
Then,
a9 = 17 = 2 + (9 – 1).d
17 = 2 + 9d – d
17 = 2 + 8d
8d = 17 – 2
8d = 15
∴ d = 15/8
Now,
A1 = a + d = 2 + 15/8 = 31/8
A2 = A1 + d = 31/8 + 15/8 = 46/8
A3 = A2 + d = 46/8 + 15/8 = 61/8
A4 = A3 + d = 61/8 + 15/8 = 76/8
A5 = A4 + d = 76/8 + 15/8 = 91/8
A6 = A5 + d = 91/8 + 15/8 = 106/8
A7 = A6 + d = 106/8 + 15/8 = 121/8
∴ The 7 AMs between 2 and 7 are 31/8, 46/8, 61/8, 76/8, 91/8, 106/8 and 121/8.
问题4:在15到– 13之间插入六个AM
解决方案:
Let A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 be the 6 A.M.s between 15 and –13.
Then, 15, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, –13 are in A.P. series.
We know,
An = a + (n – 1)d
a = 15
Then,
a8 = -13 = 15 + (8 – 1)d
-13 = 15 + 7d
7d = -13 – 15
7d = -28
∴ d = -4
So,
A1 = a + d = 15 – 4 = 11
A2 = A1 + d = 11 – 4 = 7
A3 = A2 + d = 7 – 4 = 3
A4 = A3 + d = 3 – 4 = -1
A5 = A4 + d = -1 – 4 = -5
A6 = A5 + d = -5 – 4 = -9
∴ The 6 A.M.s between 15 and -13 are 11, 7, 3, -1, -5 and -9.
问题5:在3到17之间有n个AM。最后一个平均值与第一个平均值的比率为3:1。找到n的值。
解决方案:
Let the A.P. series be 3, A1, A2, A3, …….., An, 17.
Given,
An/A1 = 3/1
We know total terms in AP are n + 2.
So, 17 is the (n + 2)th term.
We know,
An = a + (n – 1)d
a = 3
Then,
An = 17, a = 3
An = 17 = 3 + (n + 2 – 1)d
17 = 3 + (n + 1)d
17 – 3 = (n + 1)d
14 = (n + 1)d
∴ d = 14/(n + 1).
Now,
An = 3 + 14/(n + 1) = (17n + 3)/(n + 1)
A1 = 3 + d = (3n + 17)/(n + 1)
Since,
An/A1 = 3/1
(17n + 3)/(3n + 17) = 3/1
17n + 3 = 3(3n + 17)
17n + 3 = 9n + 51
17n – 9n = 51 – 3
8n = 48
n = 48/8
= 6
∴ There are 6 terms in the A.P. series.
问题6:以介于第5个AM为27的方式在7到71之间插入AM。找到AM的数量。
解决方案:
Let the series be 7, A1, A2, A3, …….., An, 71
We know total terms in the A.P. series is n + 2.
So, 71 is the (n + 2)th term
We know,
An = a + (n – 1)d
a = 7
Then,
5th A.M. = A6 = a + (6 – 1)d
a + 5d = 27
∴ d = 4
So,
71 = (n + 2)th term
71 = a + (n + 2 – 1).d
71 = 7 + n.(4)
n = 15
∴ There are 15 terms in the A.P. series.
问题7:如果在两个数字之间插入n个AM,请证明与起点和终点等距的均值之和是恒定的。
解决方案:
Let a and b be the first and last terms.
The series be a, A1, A2, A3, …….., An, b.
We know, Mean of a and b = (a + b)/2
Mean of A1 and An = (A1 + An)/2
∴ A1 = a + d
∴ An = a – d
So, AM = (a + d + b – d) / 2 = (a + b) / 2
A.M. between A2 and An-1 = (a + 2d + b – 2d) / 2 = (a + b) / 2
Similarly, (a + b) / 2 is constant for all such numbers.
∴ Hence, A.M. = (a + b) / 2
问题8:如果x,y,z位于AP中,并且A1是x和y的AM,而A2是y和z的AM,则证明A1和A2的AM是y。
解决方案:
Given that,
A1 = A.M. of x and y
A2 = A.M. of y and z
So,
A1 = (x + y)/2
A2 = (y + z)/2
AM of A1 and A2 = (A1 + A2)/2
= [(x + y)/2 + (y + z)/2]/2
= (x + y + y + z)/4
= (x + 2y + z)/4 ……(i)
Since x, y, z are in AP,
y = (x + z)/2 ……(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
A.M. = [{x + z/2} + {(x + 2y + z)/4}]/2
= (y + y)/2
= 2y/2 = y
A.M. = y [Hence proved]
问题9:在8到26之间插入五个数字,以使所得序列为AP
解决方案:
Let A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 be the 5 numbers between 8 and 26
Then, 8, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, 26 are in the A.P. series
We know,
An = a + (n – 1)d
a = 8
Then,
a7 = 26 = 8 + (7 – 1)d
26 = 8 + 6d
6d = 26 – 8
6d = 18
∴ d = 18/6 = 3
So,
A1 = a + d = 8 + 3 = 11
A2 = A1 + d = 11 + 3 = 14
A3 = A2 + d = 14 + 3 = 17
A4 = A3 + d = 17 + 3 = 20
A5 = A4 + d = 20 + 3 = 23
∴ So, the A.P. series is 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23 and 26.
