问题1.如果a,b,c在GP中,请证明日志a,log b,log c在AP中
解决方案:
Given: a, b and c are in G.P.
Using property of geometric mean, we get
b2 = ac
(b2)n = (ac)n
b2n = an cn
Now, use log on both the sides, we get,
log b2n = log (ancn)
log (bn)2 = log an + log cn
2 log bn = log an + log cn
Hence, proved log an, log bn, log cn are in A.P
问题2。如果a,b,c在GP中,请证明1 / log a m,1 / log b m,1 / log c m在AP中
解决方案:
Given: a, b and c are in GP
Using the property of geometric mean
b2 = ac
On applying log on both sides with base m, we get
logm b2 = logm ac
Using property of log
logm b2 = logm a + logm c
2logm b = logm a + logm c
2/logb m = 1/loga m + 1/logc m
Hence, proved 1/loga m, 1/logb m, 1/logc m are in A.P.
问题3.找出k,使得k + 9,k – 6和4构成GP的三个连续项
解决方案:
Let us considered
a = k + 9
b = k − 6
c = 4
AS we know that a, b and c are in GP, then
By using property of geometric mean, we get
b2 = ac
(k − 6)2 = 4(k + 9)
k2 – 12k + 36 = 4k + 36
k2 – 16k = 0
k = 0 or k = 16
问题4. AP中有3个数字,它们的总和为15。如果分别将1、3、9加到它们上,则它们构成GP来找到这些数字。
解决方案:
Let us considered the first term of an A.P. = a
Common difference = d
a1 + a2 + a3 = 15
Here, the three number are: a, a + d, and a + 2d
So,
a + a + d + a + 2d = 15
3a + 3d = 15 or a + d = 5
d = 5 – a -(1)
a + 1, a + d + 3, and a + 2d + 9
They are in GP, that is:
(a + d + 3)/(a + 1) = (a + 2d + 9)/(a + d + 3)
(a + d + 3)2 = (a + 2d + 9)(a + 1)
a2 + d2 + 9 + 2ad + 6d + 6a = a2 + a + 2da + 2d + 9a + 9
(5 – a)2 – 4a + 4(5 – a) = 0
25 + a2 – 10a – 4a + 20 – 4a = 0
a2 – 18a + 45 = 0
a2 – 15a – 3a + 45 = 0
a(a – 15) – 3(a – 15) = 0
a = 3 or a = 15
d = 5 – a
d = 5 – 3 or d = 5 – 15
d = 2 or – 10
Then,
For a = 3 and d = 2, A.P is 3, 5, 7
For a = 15 and d = -10, A.P is 15, 5, -5
Hence, the numbers are 3, 5, 7 or 15, 5, – 5
问题5.作为AP的连续项的三个数字之和为21。如果第二个数字减少1,第三个数字增加1,我们将获得GP的三个连续项。查找数字。
解决方案:
Let us considered the first term of an A.P. be = a
Common difference = d
a1 + a2 + a3 = 21
Here, the three number are: a, a + d, and a + 2d
So,
3a + 3d = 21 or
a + d = 7.
d = 7 – a -(1)
a, a + d – 1, and a + 2d + 1
They are now in GP, that is:
(a + d – 1)/a = (a + 2d + 1)/(a + d – 1)
(a + d – 1)2 = a(a + 2d + 1)
a2 + d2 + 1 + 2ad – 2d – 2a = a2 + a + 2da
(7 – a)2 – 3a + 1 – 2(7 – a) = 0
49 + a2 – 14a – 3a + 1 – 14 + 2a = 0
a2 – 15a + 36 = 0
a2 – 12a – 3a + 36 = 0
a(a – 12) – 3(a – 12) = 0
a = 3 or a = 12
d = 7 – a
d = 7 – 3 or d = 7 – 12
d = 4 or – 5
Then,
For a = 3 and d = 4, A.P is 3, 7, 11
For a = 12 and d = -5, A.P is 12, 7, 2
Hence, the numbers are 3, 7, 11 or 12, 7, 2
问题6. AP中三个数字a,b,c的总和为18。如果a和b分别增加4,而c增加36,则新数字构成GP查找a,b,c。
解决方案:
Let us considered the first term of an A.P. = a
Common difference = d
b = a + d; c = a + 2d.
Given:
a + b + c = 18
3a + 3d = 18 or a + d = 6.
d = 6 – a -(1)
a + 4, a + d + 4, and a + 2d + 36
They are now in GP, that is:
(a + d + 4)/(a + 4) = (a + 2d + 36)/(a + d + 4)
(a + d + 4)2 = (a + 2d + 36)(a + 4)
a2 + d2 + 16 + 8a + 2ad + 8d = a2 + 4a + 2da + 36a + 144 + 8d
d2 – 32a – 128
(6 – a)2 – 32a – 128 = 0
36 + a2 – 12a – 32a – 128 = 0
a2 – 44a – 92 = 0
a2 – 46a + 2a – 92 = 0
a(a – 46) + 2(a – 46) = 0
a = – 2 or a = 46
d = 6 –a
d = 6 – (– 2) or d = 6 – 46
d = 8 or – 40
Then,
For a = -2 and d = 8, A.P is -2, 6, 14
For a = 46 and d = -40, A.P is 46, 6, -34
Hence, the numbers are – 2, 6, 14 or 46, 6, – 34
问题7. GP中三个数字的总和为56。如果我们从这些数字中依次减去1、7、21,我们将获得一个AP。找到这些数字。
解决方案:
Let us considered the three numbers = a, ar, ar2
a + ar + ar2 = 56 -(1)
Now, subtract 1, 7, 21 from the numbers, we get,
(a – 1), (ar – 7), (ar2 – 21)
The above numbers are in AP.
If three numbers are in AP,
So, according to the arithmetic mean, we can write as 2b = a + c
2 (ar – 7) = a – 1 + ar2 – 21
= (ar2 + a) – 22
2ar – 14 = (56 – ar) – 22
2ar – 14 = 34 – ar
3ar = 48
ar = 48/3
ar = 16
a = 16/r -(2)
Now, substitute the value of a in eq(1) we get,
(16 + 16r + 16r2)/r = 56
16 + 16r + 16r2 = 56r
16r2 – 40r + 16 = 0
2r2 – 5r + 2 = 0
2r2 – 4r – r + 2 = 0
2r(r – 2) – 1(r – 2) = 0
(r – 2) (2r – 1) = 0
r = 2 or 1/2
Substitute the value of r in eq(2) we get,
a = 16/r
= 16/2 or 16/(1/2)
= 8 or 32
Hence, the three numbers are (a, ar, ar2) is (8, 16, 32)
问题8.如果a,b,c在GP中,请证明:

(iv)1 /(a 2 – b 2 )+ 1 / b 2 = 1 /(b 2 – c 2 )
(v)(a + 2b + 2c)(a – 2b + 2c)= a 2 + 4c 2
解决方案:
(i) Given: a, b, c are in GP.
Using the property of geometric mean,
b2 = ac
Let LHS: a(b2 + c2)
Now, on substituting b2 = ac, we get

a2c + ac2
c(a2 + ac)
On Substituting ac = b2 we get,
c(a2 + b2) = RHS
LHS = RHS

= (a + b + c)2 / (a2 – b2 + c2 + 2ac) -(∵ b2 = ac)
= (a + b + c)2 / (a + b + c)(a – b + c) -(∵ (a + b + c)(a – b + c) = a2 – b2 + c2 + 2ac)
= (a + b + c) / (a – b + c)
= RHS
LHS = RHS
Hence, proved.
(iv) Given: a, b, c are in GP.
Using the property of geometric mean,
b2 = ac
Let LHS: 1/(a2 – b2) + 1/b2
On taking LCM, we get
1/(a2 – b2) + 1/b2 = (b2 + a2 – b2)/(a2 – b2)b2
= a2 / (a2b2 – b4)
= a2 / (a2b2 – (b2)2)
= a2 / (a2b2 – (ac)2) -(∵ b2 = ac)
= a2 / (a2b2 – a2c2)
= a2 / a2(b2 – c2)
= 1/ (b2 – c2)
= RHS
LHS = RHS
Hence, proved.
(v) Given: a, b, c are in GP.
Using the property of geometric mean,
b2 = ac
Let LHS: (a + 2b + 2c) (a – 2b + 2c)
Now, on expanding, we get
(a + 2b + 2c) (a – 2b + 2c) = a2 – 2ab + 2ac + 2ab – 4b2 + 4bc + 2ac – 4bc + 4c2
= a2 + 4ac – 4b2 + 4c2
= a2 + 4ac – 4(ac) + 4c2 -(∵ b2 = ac)
= a2 + 4c2
= RHS
LHS = RHS
Hence, proved.

Let LHS: (ab – cd) / (b2 – c2)
(ab – cd) / (b2 – c2) = (ab – cd) / (ac – bd)
= (ab – cd)b / (ac – bd)b
= (ab2 – bcd) / (ac – bd)b
= [a(ac) – c(c2)] / (ac – bd)b
= (a2c – c3) / (ac – bd)b
= [c(a2 – c2)] / (ac – bd)b
= [(a + c) (ac – c2)] / (ac – bd)b
= [(a + c) (ac – bd)] / (ac – bd)b

= a2 + b2 + 2ab + 2(c2 + b2 + 2cb) + c2 + d2 + 2cd
= a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 + 2ab + 2(c2 + b2 + 2cb) + 2cd
= a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 + 2(ab + bd + ac + cb +cd) -(∵ c2 = bd, b2 = ac)

= (a + c) (c + d)
= RHS
LHS = RHS
Hence, proved.

a2 + b2, ab + bc, b2 + c2 or (ab + bc)2 = (a2 + b2) (b2 + c2)
Let LHS: (ab + bc)2
Now, on expanding, we get
(ab + bc)2 = a2b2 + 2ab2c + b2c2
= a2b2 + 2b2(b2) + b2c2 -(∵ ac = b2)
= a2b2 + 2b4 + b2c2
= a2b2 + b4 + a2c2 + b2c2 -(∵ b2 = ac)

So, a, b = ar, c = ar2, d = ar3
Now,
(b2 + c2)2 = (a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)
(a2r2 + a2r4)2 = (a2 + a2r2)(a2r4 + a2r6)
a4(r2 + r4) = a2(1 + r2)a2r4(1 + r2)
a4r4(1 + r2)2 = a4r4(1 + r2)2
