sum of 3 consecutive term of an ap is 9 and product is 24 find the no
Answers
Answer:
First you’ll have to find the first three consecutive terms of AP and see if they add up to nine with each squares adding up to 35. It’s a trial and error process.
In order to arrive at the answer you will have to square all the numbers that is lower than 9 and ensure that the result of each number squared is not greater than 35.
0*0 = 0
1*1 = 1
2*2 = 4
3*3 = 9
4*4 = 16
5*5 = 25
1+9+25 = 35
WITH ELIMINATION IT IS CLEAR THAT THE SQUARE OF 1, 3, 5 EACH ADDED TOGETHER IS 35 SO THEREFORE:
Three consecutive terms of AP is AP (1,3,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the terms be a-d, a and a+d
Now,
a-d+a+a+d=9
3a =9
a=3

Now,
(a-d) (a) (a+d) =24
replacing a
(3-d) (3+d) 3 =24
Using identity
( 3^2-d^2) 3=24
(9-d^2)3 =24
(9-d^2) =24/3
(9-d^2) =8
-d^2=8-9
-d^2 =-1
d^2 =1
d= 1
d = +1, -1
