If the GP.’s 5,10, 20, .......and 1280, 640, 320, ......have their nth terms equal, find the value of n.
Find all the sequences which are simultaneously in A.P. and GP.
Let the sequence be in A.P. as well as in G.P.
Let be three consecutive terms of an A.P.
∴
or ...(i)
Let r be the common ratio of G.P.
∴
and
∴
Hence, all the constant sequences are the only sequences which are in A.P. as well as in G.P.
In a finite GP. the product of the terms equidistant from the beginning and the end is always same and equal to the product of first and last term.
If the first and the nth terms of a GP. are a and b respectively and if P is the product of first n terms, prove that P2 = (ab)n.
If 4th, 10th and 16th terms of a GP. are x, y and z respectively, Prove that y, z are in GP.
