Let the numbers be ( a - d), a ( a+d ).
( a - d) + a + ( a +d ) = 18
3a = 18
a = 6
First term = a - d = 6 - d
Third term = a+d = 6 + d
(6 - d) ( 6 +d) = 5d
36 + 6d - 6d - d^2 = 5d
d^2 + 5d - 36 = 0
d^2 + 9d - 4d - 36 = 0
d( d +9 ) - 4( d +9 ) = 0
( d - 4) ( d + 9 ) = 0
d = 4, - 9
Common difference = 4
Numbers = ( 6 - d) = 2
a = 6
( 6 +d) = 10
A. P. = 2, 6, 10...
For CD. = - 9
( a-d) = 6 + 9 = 15
( a) = 6
( a +d ) = 6 - 9 = - 3
AP. = 15 , 6, - 3
Answer:
2,6,10 (or) 15,6,-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three terms be a - d, a, a + d.
Given, Sum of first three numbers is 18.
⇒ a - d + a + a + d = 18
⇒ 3a = 18
⇒ a = 6
Given, Product of first and the third term is 5 times the common difference
⇒ (6 - d)(6 + d) = 5d
⇒ 36 - d² = 5d
⇒ -d² - 5d + 36 = 0
⇒ d² + 5d - 36 = 0
⇒ d² + 9d - 4d - 36 = 0
⇒ d(d + 9) - 4(d + 9) = 0
⇒ (d - 4)(d + 9) = 0
⇒ d = 4, -9
When a = 6, d = 4:
a - d = 2
a = 6
a + d = 10
When a = 6, d = -9:
a - d = 15
a = 6
a + d = -3
Therefore, the three numbers are 2,6,10 (or) 15,6,-3
Hope it helps!
